A clean sans with a strongly rounded-rectangle construction across bowls and counters, giving many letters a superelliptic, softly squared profile rather than a purely circular one. Strokes are consistently even with smooth curve-to-stem joins and rounded terminals, producing a calm, uniform texture. Proportions are compact horizontally with generous vertical reach; round letters like O and o read as tall, rounded capsules, and the lowercase shows a high x-height relative to ascenders. Details stay simplified and geometric: the a is single-storey, the g is single-storey with a compact loop, and the numerals follow the same rounded, monoline logic with open, airy counters.
Well-suited to interface typography, product labeling, and other compact settings where a tidy footprint and clear, open counters help maintain legibility. The rounded-rectangle forms also work nicely for contemporary branding, packaging, and signage systems that want a clean, constructed look with a friendly edge. In editorial or short-copy contexts it can provide a modern, streamlined texture without calling attention to decorative detail.
The overall tone is contemporary and pared back, with a gentle friendliness coming from the rounded corners and softened terminals. Its geometric, softly squared curves feel slightly tech-forward and systematic, while remaining approachable rather than cold. The rhythm in text is orderly and quiet, lending a neat, controlled voice.
The design appears intended to translate geometric, superelliptic forms into a practical text and display sans that stays consistent across cases and numerals. It prioritizes a compact, orderly rhythm and softened geometry, aiming for a modern voice that feels precise yet approachable.
Distinctive superellipse geometry shows up consistently in C/G/O/Q and in arched forms like n/m, creating a cohesive, constructed look. The uppercase Q features a clear vertical tail element, and the W has a rounded, symmetrical “double-u” feel that reinforces the font’s softened geometry. In running text the narrow set and high x-height keep lines compact while preserving clarity through open counters and simple interior shapes.
