A rounded geometric sans with monoline strokes and corners that consistently resolve into smooth, squared-off curves reminiscent of superellipse geometry. The caps are tall and simple with broad, even proportions, while lowercase forms stay compact and highly regular, with single-storey shapes for the a and g. Curves are wide and controlled, terminals are clean rather than tapered, and many joins are gently radiused, producing a smooth, engineered rhythm. Numerals follow the same rounded-rectangle logic, with a notably soft, open feel in forms like 2, 3, and 5.
Well suited to UI and product contexts where clean geometry and softened corners read clearly at a range of sizes. It can also work effectively for headlines, wayfinding, and brand systems that want a modern, approachable feel without decorative features.
The overall tone is contemporary and approachable, balancing a technical, system-like precision with softened edges that keep it from feeling cold. Its rounded-square vocabulary suggests modern product design, interfaces, and branding that aims for clarity with a friendly voice.
The design appears intended to translate rounded-rectangle industrial geometry into a readable text and display sans, emphasizing consistency, smoothness, and a friendly modern tone. The uniform stroke and carefully radiused corners suggest a focus on digital-first clarity and cohesive branding across headings and running text.
Distinctive rounded-square construction shows up strongly in O/Q and in the arched shoulders of n/m, while straight-sided letters (E, F, H, N) keep the texture orderly. Counters remain open and legible, and the uniform stroke weight gives text a calm, consistent color without calling attention to contrast.
