A clean sans with a geometric, superelliptical construction: round letters are built from rounded-rectangle curves rather than perfect circles. Strokes are even and monolinear, with smooth joins and restrained terminals that keep the texture consistent. Proportions are balanced and straightforward, with compact bowls, stable verticals, and clear, open counters; the lowercase shows single-storey forms (notably a and g), and the numerals follow the same rounded, uniform rhythm.
Well-suited to UI and app typography, wayfinding and signage, and general-purpose editorial use where consistent rhythm and quick recognition matter. It also works for contemporary branding and packaging that benefits from geometric cleanliness with a softened edge.
The overall tone is modern and approachable, combining a technical clarity with soft, rounded geometry. It reads as neutral and practical rather than expressive, giving interfaces and information design a calm, tidy voice.
Likely designed as a versatile, all-purpose sans that prioritizes legibility and a consistent, contemporary texture. The rounded-rectangle geometry suggests an intention to bridge technical precision and friendliness for digital-first and information-heavy settings.
The superelliptical roundness is especially evident in O/Q/0 and in the bowls of B/P/R, creating a subtly squared feel without becoming rigid. Diagonals (V/W/X/Y) are crisp and symmetric, and the punctuation sample suggests a steady, even color in continuous text.
