A rounded, monolinear sans with a superelliptic construction: curves resolve into softly squared corners and rounded-rectangle bowls rather than perfect circles. Strokes are even and steady with minimal contrast, producing a smooth, consistent color in text. Counters are generally open and generous, and terminals are clean and blunt, keeping forms crisp while still feeling softened by the rounding. The lowercase shows a single-storey a and g, and the figures follow the same rounded-rectangle logic for a cohesive rhythm across letters and numerals.
This font suits interface and product contexts where clarity and a modern, softened geometry are desired—such as UI copy, dashboards, settings screens, and packaging or labeling. Its even stroke weight and open shapes also make it comfortable for short-to-medium editorial text, captions, and informational typography.
The overall tone is contemporary and approachable, balancing a neutral, utilitarian clarity with a soft-edged friendliness. It reads as modern and slightly tech-leaning without becoming cold or overly geometric.
The design appears intended to deliver a highly usable sans with a distinctive superelliptic personality—combining straightforward readability with rounded-square forms that feel contemporary and brandable.
The rounded-square geometry is especially apparent in bowls and corners, giving the face a distinctive “soft modular” feel that remains legible at text sizes. The design maintains consistent curvature and corner radii across the set, which helps it feel orderly and system-like in running copy.
