A clean, monoline sans with rounded-rectangle (superellipse) construction throughout. Curves are smooth and generously rounded, paired with flat terminals and consistent stroke thickness, creating an even, steady texture in text. Counters are open and well-defined, with a slightly softened geometric feel in letters like C, G, O, and S, and a straightforward, functional treatment of diagonals in K, V, W, X, and Y. The lowercase shows simple, readable forms with a single-storey a and g, compact joins, and a balanced rhythm that stays crisp in paragraph settings.
Well-suited to interfaces, dashboards, and product copy where a steady, legible sans is needed with a slightly softened edge. It also fits editorial subheads, informational signage, and slide decks that benefit from a modern, orderly rhythm and clear figure shapes.
The overall tone is contemporary and approachable, combining a neutral, no-nonsense voice with subtle softness from the rounded geometry. It reads as practical rather than expressive, making it feel calm, organized, and technology-adjacent without becoming cold.
The design appears aimed at a dependable everyday sans that merges geometric clarity with rounded, superelliptical forms for a friendlier texture. Its consistent strokes and open counters suggest an intention to perform predictably across both short labels and longer text blocks.
Numerals follow the same rounded construction, with clear, sturdy silhouettes and minimal embellishment; curves in 6/8/9 and the diagonal in 4 feel especially aligned to the superelliptical theme. Spacing appears measured and consistent, supporting a tidy line color in running text.
