A monoline sans with rounded-rectangle (superellipse) construction and generously open counters. Curves are smooth and continuous, with softly squared terminals and corners that keep the texture even and controlled. Proportions feel expansive, with ample sidebearings and a steady rhythm that reads clearly in both caps and lowercase. The lowercase shows simple, single-storey forms (notably a and g) and a tall, clean x-height that supports compact word shapes.
This style performs well in interface typography, wayfinding, and contemporary brand systems where a clean, soft-geometric voice is desired. Its even strokes and open forms also suit short-to-medium headlines and display text, particularly where an airy, modern look is preferred.
The overall tone is contemporary and understated, leaning toward a calm, friendly neutrality. Its softened geometry feels approachable rather than technical, making it well suited to sleek, unobtrusive typography that still has personality.
The design appears intended to blend geometric discipline with softened edges, creating a modern sans that feels precise yet approachable. The consistent superellipse-driven shapes suggest a focus on clarity, visual harmony, and a distinctive rounded-rect profile across the set.
Round letters (O/C/G/Q) maintain a consistent superelliptical silhouette, while straight-sided forms (E/F/H/L) keep crisp alignment without sharpness. Numerals follow the same rounded-geometry logic, with clear, open shapes that match the lowercase’s simplicity.
