A monoline sans with softly squared, superellipse-derived curves and consistently rounded corners. Strokes stay even throughout, with generous interior counters and open apertures that keep letters airy. Proportions feel horizontally expanded and calm, with smooth, geometric bowls and terminals that end cleanly without flare. The overall rhythm is spacious and measured, with simple constructions and a slightly engineered, rounded-rectangle skeleton visible across rounds like C, O, Q, and the numerals.
Well-suited to interface labels, wayfinding, and modern product branding where a clean, geometric voice is desired. It can also work for short-to-medium text in editorial or web contexts when a light, airy texture is acceptable, and it performs especially well in larger sizes where its superelliptic rounding is most apparent.
The tone is modern and restrained, blending a friendly softness from the rounded geometry with a cool, technical neutrality. It reads as contemporary and system-like rather than expressive or handwritten, giving designs a sleek, composed feel.
The design appears intended to provide a contemporary geometric sans with softened, superellipse construction—balancing precision with approachability. It prioritizes clarity through open counters and consistent stroke behavior while maintaining a distinctive rounded-rectangle identity for modern visual systems.
Key shapes emphasize rounded-rectangle logic: the zero is an oval-superellipse form with a diagonal slash, and many curved letters maintain a subtly squared profile rather than perfect circles. The light stroke and ample whitespace make the face feel delicate and refined, especially in longer text lines.
