A monolinear sans with a geometric skeleton and distinctly rounded-rectangle (superellipse) curves. Strokes maintain an even weight with soft terminals and smooth joins, giving counters a squarish-but-rounded feel, especially in O/0 and other bowls. Uppercase forms are simple and architected, with broad proportions and generous internal space; lowercase follows with open shapes and tidy, minimal detailing. Numerals are clear and streamlined, leaning on rounded corners and large counters for legibility.
Well-suited to interface typography, product surfaces, and dashboard or settings-heavy layouts where clarity and a steady rhythm matter. The wide, open forms and large counters also make it a solid option for signage and concise brand wordmarks that want a modern, approachable geometry.
The overall tone is calm and contemporary, balancing a clinical, engineered neatness with a gentle friendliness from the softened corners. It reads as neutral and matter-of-fact rather than expressive, making it feel modern and utilitarian without being harsh.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary geometric sans voice anchored in superelliptical rounding, emphasizing clarity, consistency, and a soft-edged technical feel. Its restrained construction suggests it’s meant to perform reliably in everyday functional typography while still offering a distinctive rounded-rectangle signature.
Round letters consistently resolve into rounded rectangles rather than true circles, creating a cohesive, system-like texture across text. The punctuation and basic shapes shown (including the ampersand) keep the same simplified, smooth geometry, reinforcing a controlled, product-oriented aesthetic.
