A clean geometric sans with rounded-rectangle (superelliptic) construction throughout. Strokes are even and smooth, with generous corner rounding that keeps forms soft without feeling bubbly. Counters are open and fairly large, and the overall rhythm is steady and uncluttered, with simple joins and minimal stroke modulation. Curved letters like C, G, O, and Q read as squarish rounds, while straight-sided letters (E, F, H, I, L, T) stay crisp and pared back; figures follow the same rounded, geometric logic.
Well suited to interface typography, product and app branding, dashboards, and wayfinding where a clean, contemporary voice is needed. It also works nicely for packaging and editorial pull quotes when you want a modern sans that stays friendly and highly legible.
The tone is contemporary and approachable, combining a technical, UI-like precision with a gentle softness from the rounded geometry. It feels calm and efficient rather than expressive or ornate, suggesting clarity and practicality with a subtly friendly edge.
Likely intended as a versatile geometric workhorse with superelliptic curves that echo modern UI shapes and device aesthetics. The consistent rounding and open counters suggest a focus on clarity, neutrality, and easy readability across a range of display and text applications.
The design relies on consistent curvature and corner radii, giving the alphabet a cohesive, systematized feel. Terminals are generally clean and straightforward, and the spacing in the sample text supports clear word shapes at reading sizes.
