A geometric sans with softly squared, superellipse-driven curves and consistently rounded corners. Strokes are monolinear and low in contrast, with smooth joins and a controlled, engineered feel. Counters tend to be rounded-rectangular rather than purely circular, giving letters like O, D, and Q a compact, softened boxiness. Terminals are clean and mostly horizontal/vertical, and the overall spacing and rhythm read steady and systematic in both uppercase and lowercase.
Works well for user interfaces, product branding, and wayfinding where crisp shapes and quick recognition matter. The rounded-square construction also suits headlines, packaging, and tech-forward marketing that benefits from a modern, friendly geometric voice.
The tone is contemporary and approachable, pairing a technical, UI-friendly precision with gentle softness from the rounded-square forms. It feels neutral and utilitarian without becoming cold, making it suitable for brands that want modern clarity with a friendly edge.
The design appears intended to modernize classic geometric sans principles by replacing purely circular rounds with superellipse-like forms, creating a consistent soft-rectangle system across letters and numerals. The goal seems to be dependable readability with a distinctive, contemporary silhouette that remains understated and versatile.
Distinctive details include the squared, rounded bowl geometry, a straightforward, sans-serif numeral set, and a clear, no-nonsense lowercase that stays consistent with the same softened-rectangle motif. The sample text shows strong legibility at display and larger text sizes thanks to open forms and simple construction.
