A clean, geometric sans with subtly squared, superellipse-inspired curves and consistently even stroke weight. Rounds like C, O, and Q read as softened rectangles rather than pure circles, giving the face a crisp but gentle geometry. Terminals are straightforward with minimal modulation, counters are open, and overall proportions feel balanced with clear distinction between capitals, lowercase, and numerals.
Works well for UI and product interfaces, wayfinding and signage, and general-purpose brand systems where a modern, unobtrusive sans is needed. The open counters and restrained detailing also suit dashboards and editorial layouts that prioritize readability and consistent texture across mixed case and numerals.
The tone is contemporary and matter-of-fact, with a mild friendliness coming from the softened corners and smooth curves. It feels practical and composed rather than expressive, aiming for clarity and a polished, modern presence.
Likely designed as a versatile workhorse sans that blends geometric order with softened, superellipse-like shaping to avoid a cold or overly technical feel. The emphasis appears to be on consistent rhythm, clear letterforms, and dependable performance across display and text sizes.
Uppercase forms are simple and stable, while the lowercase maintains a tidy, engineered rhythm; the single-storey “g” and the clean, compact “a” reinforce a modern sans character. Numerals follow the same rounded-rect geometry, with generous interior space that helps them stay legible in running text.
