A geometric sans built from rounded-rectangle/superellipse forms, with softly squared curves and consistently rounded terminals. Strokes are uniform and lightly drawn, giving an airy texture and clear negative space. Capitals are simple and architectural, while lowercase shows tall ascenders and open counters; curves are more squared than circular, especially in bowls and shoulders. Numerals and punctuation follow the same softened-rectilinear logic, maintaining a consistent rhythm and a calm, even color in text.
Works well where a clean, contemporary voice is needed—UI/UX labels, product interfaces, and tech-forward brand systems. Its light, open construction can also suit short headlines, signage, and packaging that benefits from a precise, minimal look, especially at medium to large sizes.
The overall tone feels modern and engineered, with a slightly playful friendliness coming from the rounded corners and open forms. It suggests a sleek, contemporary aesthetic associated with interfaces, tech branding, and forward-looking design.
Likely intended as a modern geometric sans that replaces circular geometry with superelliptical rounding for a distinctive, soft-technical signature. The consistent monoline construction and simplified letterforms prioritize a smooth, uniform rhythm across mixed-case text and numerals.
Distinctive superelliptical shaping is especially apparent in rounded letters like O/Q and in the way curves transition into verticals with gentle, squared-off radii. The design leans toward clarity over expression, with minimal contrast and restrained detailing that keeps attention on layout and spacing.
