A clean sans with a superelliptical construction: round letters lean toward rounded-rectangle shapes rather than true circles, producing broad, stable bowls and smooth corners. Strokes are largely monoline with minimal modulation, and terminals are crisp with squared cutoffs that keep the texture firm. Proportions are balanced and straightforward, with generous apertures and clear counters that hold up well in continuous text. Numerals and capitals share the same sturdy geometry, creating an even, consistent rhythm across the set.
Well-suited to UI and product text where clarity and a steady typographic color are priorities, as well as wayfinding and signage thanks to open forms and strong silhouettes. Its restrained character also makes it a reliable choice for brand systems, presentations, and general editorial typography where a modern, neutral sans is needed.
The overall tone is contemporary and approachable, pairing geometric discipline with softened corners that feel friendly rather than technical. It reads as dependable and matter-of-fact, with a calm, understated personality suited to everyday interface and editorial use.
The design appears intended as a versatile workhorse sans that stays legible and consistent across sizes, using superelliptical geometry to add a subtle, contemporary signature without sacrificing neutrality. It aims to balance friendliness and precision for broad, system-like deployment.
The superellipse logic is especially apparent in C/O/Q-style forms, which read as rounded rectangles and give the face a distinctive, modern silhouette. The lowercase shows practical, text-forward shapes with simple joins and clear differentiation, supporting quick scanning at typical reading sizes.
