A clean, monoline sans with rounded-rectangle geometry and softly squared curves throughout. Strokes maintain an even thickness with smooth joins and minimal modulation, creating a stable, consistent texture in text. Round letters like C, G, O, and Q are built from superelliptical curves that feel slightly squarer than a pure circle, while verticals and horizontals read crisp and steady. Lowercase forms are straightforward and open, with a single-storey a and g and generally wide, readable apertures; the numeral set is similarly simple and evenly drawn.
It suits interface typography, product and system graphics, and any setting that benefits from clear, even strokes and a modern, softened geometry. It can also work well for signage and informational layouts where quick recognition and consistent rhythm are priorities.
The overall tone is contemporary and matter-of-fact, balancing a friendly softness from the rounded shaping with a composed, technical clarity. It feels approachable without becoming playful, and maintains a calm, UI-like neutrality in continuous reading.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, highly legible sans with a subtly distinctive superelliptical skeleton—adding personality through rounded-square forms while keeping the construction restrained and functional.
The sample text shows an even typographic color and comfortable spacing that supports longer lines, while the rounded-square construction gives distinctive character at display sizes. Curves and terminals stay consistently softened across letters and figures, reinforcing a cohesive, engineered look.
