A geometric sans with a superelliptical construction: curves resolve into rounded-rectangle bowls and counters, and terminals are consistently softened rather than sharply cut. Stroke weight is even and steady, producing a crisp, engineered rhythm with minimal modulation. Uppercase forms are compact and squared-off in their curves (notably in letters like C, D, O, Q), while lowercase maintains clear, simple silhouettes with generous rounding and open apertures. Figures follow the same rounded-rect logic, with sturdy, legible shapes and tidy joins.
Well-suited to interface typography, product UI, dashboards, and wayfinding where clean shapes and consistent stroke behavior support fast recognition. It also fits labels, packaging, and modern branding systems that benefit from a geometric, rounded-technical aesthetic. In short passages and headings, the squared curves create a distinctive, contemporary texture without becoming decorative.
The overall tone feels contemporary and functional, with a subtle friendliness from the rounded corners. It reads as tech-adjacent and systematic—more instrument-like than expressive—while still approachable and non-aggressive. The geometry suggests precision and reliability rather than warmth or nostalgia.
The design appears intended to deliver a pragmatic, modern sans with softened geometry—balancing strict, grid-based construction with rounded corners for approachability. Its consistent forms and superelliptical curves suggest an emphasis on clarity, reproducibility across contexts, and a cohesive system feel in text and numerals.
The family’s character is driven by consistent corner radii and squarish bowls, giving text a slightly condensed, grid-aligned look even in running lines. The lowercase includes distinct, practical forms (e.g., a single-storey-style silhouette for some letters and simplified constructions) that reinforce a straightforward, UI-minded voice.
