A rounded, geometric sans with a distinctly squarish curve logic: bowls and counters read like softened rectangles, producing a crisp, engineered rhythm. Strokes are monoline and terminals are cleanly cut, with generous apertures and clear internal space in letters like C, G, e, and s. Proportions lean spacious and contemporary, with a high x-height and compact ascenders/descenders that keep lowercase text dense and efficient. Numerals and capitals follow the same superelliptical rounding, maintaining consistent corner radii and a stable, even texture across lines.
It suits interface typography, product UI, and digital dashboards where a compact x-height-driven lowercase helps preserve legibility at smaller sizes. The steady, rounded geometry also works well for contemporary branding, packaging, and signage that benefits from a clean, approachable technical aesthetic.
The overall tone is contemporary and pragmatic, balancing friendliness from the rounded corners with a precise, tech-forward structure. It feels confident and orderly rather than expressive, aiming for clarity and system-like consistency.
The font appears designed to deliver a modern, systematized look with softened geometry—prioritizing clear counters, consistent rounding, and a stable text color for everyday display and interface use.
The design’s rounded-rectangle construction is especially evident in O/Q and in the lowercase a/e, giving text a subtly “UI component” feel. Diagonals in letters like V/W/X/Y are sturdy and straightforward, reinforcing a utilitarian, modern voice.
