A contemporary sans with a geometric, superelliptical construction: rounds lean toward rounded-rectangle shapes rather than perfect circles, giving counters a softly squared feel. Strokes are monolinear with smooth joins and minimal modulation, producing an even, steady texture in text. Proportions are pragmatic and readable, with a tall x-height and open apertures; curves are generous while terminals stay simple and clean. Uppercase forms are straightforward and balanced, and lowercase shapes maintain consistent width and rhythm, with a single-storey g and a compact, functional t.
Its even color, open shapes, and tall x-height make it well-suited to interface typography and on-screen reading, including product UI, dashboards, and web body text. It also works cleanly for signage and information design where quick recognition matters, and for contemporary editorial layouts that want a neutral, modern voice.
The overall tone is modern and matter-of-fact, with a mild friendliness coming from the rounded geometry. It feels utilitarian and contemporary rather than expressive, projecting clarity and approachability without becoming casual.
This font appears intended as a versatile, screen-friendly sans that combines geometric discipline with softened corners to keep long passages comfortable. The superelliptical forms suggest an aim for a modern, engineered aesthetic that remains approachable in everyday communication.
The design mixes straight sides with softened corners, creating a distinctive “soft-square” silhouette in letters like O, C, and e. Numerals follow the same rounded-rect logic, staying clear at text sizes while retaining a cohesive, engineered look.
