A compact, geometric sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softened corners throughout. Strokes are heavy and even, with minimal contrast and a steady rhythm that keeps counters open despite the dense weight. Curves on letters like C, G, O, and S feel superelliptical rather than purely circular, while terminals tend to end in clean, squared-off cuts. The lowercase shows simple, functional forms with a two-storey a and single-storey g, short-to-moderate extenders, and broadly proportioned bowls; numerals are similarly sturdy with rounded geometry and clear silhouettes.
Well suited to interface labels, wayfinding, and packaging where strong stroke weight and rounded geometry help maintain clarity at a glance. It also works effectively for headlines and short paragraphs in editorial or marketing contexts that benefit from a modern, approachable voice.
The overall tone is contemporary and practical, balancing a friendly softness with a confident, robust presence. Its rounded geometry lends warmth, while the solid strokes and compact shapes communicate stability and clarity.
Likely designed to deliver a contemporary geometric sans that feels friendly and highly legible, using superelliptical curves and rounded corners to soften the heaviness of the strokes while preserving clear, compact letterforms.
At text sizes the letterforms retain crisp separation thanks to open apertures and restrained interior detailing, giving the design a no-nonsense readability. The superellipse-like rounding creates a consistent “soft box” motif that reads especially clearly in the round letters and in the shoulders of n/m and the curves of s.
