A rounded, superellipse-driven sans with squarish counters and generously softened corners throughout. Strokes read largely monoline with modest contrast, producing a sturdy, even color in text. The proportions are open and wide, with a notably tall x-height and compact ascenders/descenders; terminals are consistently rounded, and joins are clean and engineered. Round letters like O and 0 take on a rounded-rectangle silhouette, while forms like C, S, and G keep broad curves with clipped, softened apertures that reinforce the squared geometry.
Its wide, rounded geometry and even stroke make it well suited to UI/UX, app and device interfaces, and on-screen labels where clarity and consistency matter. It also works effectively for contemporary branding, wayfinding, and short headlines that benefit from a friendly futuristic voice, while remaining readable in longer settings thanks to its open counters and steady rhythm.
The overall tone is modern and tech-forward, balancing a utilitarian, engineered feel with approachable softness from the rounded corners. It evokes interface typography, sci‑fi dashboards, and contemporary product design rather than editorial or calligraphic traditions.
The design appears intended to merge geometric, screen-native construction with softened corners for warmth and accessibility. By using superellipse-like rounds and squared counters, it aims for a cohesive, modern system font feel that stays distinctive without becoming decorative.
Distinctive shapes include a single-storey “a,” a single-storey “g” with a horizontal baseline bar, and a “Q” with a short, angled tail. Numerals follow the same rounded-rect logic, with simple, legible construction and minimal embellishment.
