This sans-serif is built from smooth, superelliptical geometry with gently rounded corners and largely monolinear strokes. Curves and bowls read as rounded-rectangle forms, while joins stay clean and controlled, giving the letters a tidy, engineered rhythm. Proportions are balanced with open apertures and clear counters; terminals are mostly straight-cut but softened by the overall rounding. The lowercase shows a single-storey “a” and “g,” a simple, unadorned “t,” and compact, even punctuation and numerals that match the same rounded-square logic.
It suits interface copy, product and app branding, dashboards, and wayfinding where a clean, consistent texture is important. The rounded geometry also makes it comfortable for headings and labels in contemporary design systems, especially where a softer alternative to strict geometric sans is desired.
The tone is contemporary and approachable, combining a soft, friendly silhouette with a precise, systematic feel. It communicates clarity and restraint rather than personality-driven quirks, making it feel calm, efficient, and mildly tech-forward.
The design appears intended to deliver a rational, geometric sans with softened edges—combining the efficiency of constructed forms with a more welcoming, less rigid silhouette. Its consistent superelliptical curves suggest a focus on cohesion across letters, figures, and mixed-case text in everyday digital and print contexts.
Round characters like O/C/G and the numeral set emphasize squarish curves rather than perfect circles, reinforcing the superellipse motif throughout. Spacing appears even and utilitarian, supporting a steady texture in paragraphs and UI-like lines of text.
