A rounded, monolinear sans with a distinctly superelliptical construction: bowls and counters tend toward rounded-rectangle shapes with consistent corner radii. Strokes are even and smooth, with soft terminals and gently squared-off curves that give letters a modular, engineered feel. Forms like O, D, P, and 0 read as compact rounded boxes; apertures and joins are controlled and tidy, and diagonals (V, W, Y, X) are clean without sharp, brittle points. Overall spacing and rhythm feel steady and structured, with clear differentiation between similar shapes such as O/0 and I/l/1 through proportion and detailing.
Well-suited to user interfaces, dashboards, and product typography where clarity and a controlled, geometric rhythm are important. The rounded, modular shapes also lend themselves to tech branding, packaging, and signage systems that aim for a contemporary, friendly voice.
The tone is modern and tech-leaning, combining precision with approachable softness. Its rounded geometry feels contemporary and digital—suggesting interfaces, devices, and product ecosystems—while staying neutral enough for everyday communication.
The design appears intended to translate superelliptical geometry into a practical text and display sans, pairing a recognizable rounded-rect silhouette with straightforward, readable construction. It prioritizes consistency and a clean system feel while keeping the overall texture soft and approachable.
Several glyphs emphasize identity through small geometric decisions: the Q has a concise internal tail treatment, the a is single-storey, and numerals echo the same rounded-rectangle logic (notably 2 and 3). Corners remain consistently softened across the set, reinforcing a cohesive, system-like aesthetic.
