A clean sans with gently squared, superellipse-like curves and consistently rounded corners. Strokes are monolinear and steady, producing an even texture in text. Capitals are straightforward and geometric, while round letters like C, G, O and Q read as rounded rectangles rather than true circles. Lowercase forms are simple and open, with single-storey a and g, compact shoulders, and a short, straight crossbar on t; numerals are clear and unembellished, including an open, curved 2 and a plain 1 with a small top flag.
Well-suited for UI and product text, dashboards, and other screen-forward settings where steady rhythm and clear forms are important. It should also work effectively in editorial subheads and body copy, as well as wayfinding and general-purpose signage that benefits from a clean, friendly sans.
The overall tone is contemporary and approachable, with softened geometry that feels calm rather than sharp or technical. Its neutrality and even color make it suitable for everyday interface and brand communication where clarity matters more than personality.
The design appears intended to deliver a practical, highly legible sans with softened geometric construction—combining modern, rounded-rectangle forms with restrained details for broad, everyday use.
Counters remain generous and apertures stay open in letters like e, c, and s, supporting legibility at smaller sizes. The rounded-rectangle construction gives headings a subtly distinctive flavor without becoming playful, and the spacing appears balanced, yielding a smooth line in the sample text.
