A geometric sans built from rounded-rectangle and superellipse structures, with consistent stroke weight and generously rounded terminals. Counters are open and squarish, giving O/0 and other bowls a soft-rectangular silhouette rather than a true circle. The overall rhythm is spacious, with broad proportions, low contrast, and crisp joins; diagonals (A, V, W, X, Y) stay sharp while horizontals and curves maintain smooth, even curvature. Numerals and lowercase forms follow the same modular logic, with simplified details and a clean, contemporary texture in paragraphs.
This face is well suited to UI and app typography, dashboards, and product interfaces where a clean geometric voice is desired. The broad, rounded forms can also work effectively in branding, wayfinding, and contemporary packaging, and it holds up nicely for short paragraphs and display copy where a modern, structured texture is appropriate.
The tone reads contemporary and tech-leaning, with a friendly, approachable softness coming from the rounded corners. Its controlled geometry suggests digital interfaces and product design, while the open shapes keep it calm and readable rather than aggressive.
The design appears intended to merge a geometric, system-oriented feel with softened corners for approachability. By basing forms on superelliptic curves and rounded rectangles, it aims for a distinct, contemporary identity that remains straightforward and versatile in practical settings.
Rounded-square construction is especially evident in letters with bowls and shoulders, producing a distinctive “soft box” footprint in both capitals and lowercase. The design avoids ornamental quirks and relies on consistent geometry for personality, making the texture feel orderly and system-like.
