A clean sans with a geometric, superellipse-driven construction: bowls and counters read as rounded-rectangle forms with smooth, even curves. Strokes are low-contrast and largely uniform, with crisp, straight terminals and consistent joins. Proportions feel balanced and contemporary, with open apertures and generous inner spaces that keep letters like C, S, and e clear. The uppercase is steady and architectural, while the lowercase stays simple and functional, with a single-storey a and compact, rounded forms across o, p, and q.
This design suits interface and product contexts where clarity and neutrality are priorities, including UI copy, dashboards, wayfinding, and informational graphics. Its clean rhythm also works well for short editorial settings, captions, and headings where a contemporary, unobtrusive sans is desired.
The overall tone is modern and matter-of-fact, with a subtle friendliness from the rounded geometry. It feels calm and dependable rather than expressive, lending an approachable, everyday voice that avoids sharpness or formality.
The font appears designed to deliver a contemporary geometric sans voice with softened, superellipse shapes—prioritizing legibility, consistency, and a restrained, versatile presence across text and display sizes.
Round characters (O, C, G, 0, 8, 9) emphasize the superelliptical silhouette, producing a softly squared roundness rather than purely circular bowls. Numerals are straightforward and highly legible, with clear differentiation between similarly shaped forms and stable, even spacing in running text.
