A clean sans with monoline strokes and broadly rounded corners that read like softened rectangles in the round letters. Proportions are generous and slightly expanded, with a tall lowercase x-height that keeps text compact vertically while remaining very legible. Curves transition smoothly into straighter segments, giving forms like C, G, O, and U a superelliptical feel rather than pure circles. Terminals are predominantly blunt and squared-off (often with subtle rounding), and counters stay open and clear across both upper- and lowercase.
Well-suited to interface text, dashboards, and product UI where high x-height and open apertures support clarity. The softened, rounded construction also works well for brand systems, packaging, and wayfinding, and it scales comfortably for both headlines and short-to-medium editorial copy.
The overall tone is modern and approachable: crisp enough for functional UI typography, but softened by rounded geometry that avoids a harsh, technical feel. It reads neutral and matter-of-fact in paragraphs, while the widened stance gives headlines a confident, contemporary presence.
The design appears intended as a practical, contemporary sans that prioritizes legibility and consistency while adding warmth through rounded, superelliptical construction. It balances a straightforward typographic voice with a subtly friendly shape language for broad, everyday use.
Numerals follow the same rounded-rect geometry, with clear, simple silhouettes and consistent stroke weight. The lowercase shows straightforward constructions (single-storey a and g) and minimal modulation, reinforcing an even rhythm in continuous text.
