A geometric sans with softened, superellipse-like curves and rounded-rectangle construction in bowls and counters. Strokes are largely uniform with minimal contrast, and terminals are clean and mostly squared-off with subtle rounding, producing crisp edges without feeling sharp. Round letters like O, C, and G read as broad, even shapes with open apertures, while straight-sided forms (H, N, E) keep a steady vertical rhythm. The lowercase shows a single-storey g and a simple, functional a, with compact curves and clear joins that stay consistent across sizes.
Well-suited to interface and product typography where clean shapes and consistent rhythm support quick scanning. It also works for modern brand systems, wayfinding, and infographic labeling, especially when a friendly geometric voice is desired without becoming playful.
The overall tone is contemporary and matter-of-fact, with a gentle friendliness coming from the rounded geometry. It feels systematic and UI-aware rather than expressive, projecting clarity, efficiency, and a mild tech-forward character.
The design appears intended to deliver a pragmatic geometric sans built from rounded-rectangle logic, balancing a technical, systematic structure with softened corners for approachable readability in everyday applications.
Spacing and proportions favor legibility in continuous text, with sturdy capitals and straightforward numerals that align well in tabular or interface contexts. The forms avoid ornamentation and rely on consistent geometry to create a cohesive texture.
