A monoline sans with softly squared, superellipse-inspired curves and consistent stroke thickness. Letterforms are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, giving bowls and counters a gently flattened feel rather than perfect circles. Terminals are clean and unadorned, with open apertures and straightforward joins that keep interior spaces clear. Proportions read contemporary and practical, with compact, stable capitals and a prominent x-height that helps the lowercase maintain clarity at text sizes.
This font suits interface typography, dashboards, and product surfaces where neutral tone and clear shapes are priorities. It also works well for contemporary branding systems, wayfinding and signage, and editorial layouts that need a modern sans with a slightly geometric, rounded flavor.
The overall tone is modern and matter-of-fact, with a mild friendliness coming from the rounded geometry. It feels calm and contemporary rather than expressive, aligning well with functional, product-oriented design aesthetics.
The design appears intended to provide a highly legible, contemporary sans built on rounded-rectangle geometry, balancing friendliness with a crisp, efficient rhythm for everyday reading and on-screen use.
In the sample text, spacing and rhythm appear even and workmanlike, supporting long passages without drawing attention to individual shapes. Rounded forms like o/e/c read slightly squarish, which gives headings and UI labels a subtly technical character while remaining approachable.
