This typeface is a geometric sans with softly squared, superellipse-like curves and gently rounded corners throughout. Strokes are even and monolinear, with smooth joins and a consistent, controlled rhythm. Round letters (C, O, G, Q) read as rounded-rectangle forms rather than perfect circles, while straight-sided letters (E, F, H, N) keep crisp, stable verticals. Lowercase shapes are simple and open, with a single-storey a and g, a compact shoulder on n/m, and a short, functional crossbar on t; terminals are clean and minimally tapered.
Well suited for user interfaces, dashboards, and product typography where clean shapes and consistent rhythm support fast scanning. The softened geometry also works for modern branding, wayfinding, and editorial headings when a neutral, contemporary sans is desired.
The overall tone is contemporary and approachable, balancing a technical, system-like clarity with softened geometry that feels less rigid than pure geometric sans designs. It conveys a calm, neutral voice suited to interfaces and informational typography without feeling cold.
The design appears intended to provide a modern geometric sans voice with softened, superellipse-based forms for improved approachability and screen-friendly clarity. It prioritizes consistency and legibility over stylistic flair, aiming for a dependable everyday typeface for digital-first applications.
Counters and apertures stay generous, supporting clarity in text and UI-sized settings. Numerals are straightforward and legible, with a simple 1 and rounded 0/8 forms that match the superellipse construction. Uppercase proportions feel slightly wide and stable, and spacing appears even, giving paragraphs a tidy, unshowy texture.
