A very light, low-contrast sans with monoline strokes and a geometric, superellipse-driven construction. Curves read as rounded-rectangle arcs rather than perfect circles, giving bowls and counters a soft-squared feel, while stems stay straight and even. Terminals are clean and unflared, spacing is generous, and the overall rhythm is calm and precise with open, readable apertures in letters like C, S, and e. Numerals follow the same streamlined logic, with simple, open forms and consistent stroke behavior across the set.
It works well for interface typography, dashboards, and wayfinding where a clean, low-noise appearance is desirable. The lightweight construction also suits editorial decks, corporate communications, and modern brand systems—especially when used at medium-to-large sizes with ample line spacing.
The tone is minimalist and contemporary, projecting clarity and restraint rather than personality-heavy expressiveness. Its light touch and softened geometry feel refined and engineered, suited to calm, informational communication.
The likely intention is a contemporary neutral sans that blends geometric discipline with softened, superelliptical curves to feel both technical and approachable. It aims for unobtrusive readability and a polished, modern surface for digital-first design.
The design balances straight segments and superelliptical curves, producing a distinctive “soft geometry” that stays crisp at display sizes. Uppercase forms feel tall and spacious, and the lowercase maintains a neat, controlled silhouette with simple two-storey-free forms and uncomplicated joins.
