A geometric sans with monoline strokes and a distinct superellipse construction: rounds read as rounded-rectangle forms rather than true circles. Terminals are clean and largely flat, with corners consistently softened to maintain an even, machined rhythm. Proportions feel spacious and slightly expanded, with broad bowls (O, Q, 0) and wide capitals, while lowercase remains straightforward and uncluttered. The numerals echo the same rounded-rect geometry, producing uniform, stable silhouettes and clear counters.
Well-suited to interfaces and product typography where clarity and consistency matter, including dashboards, navigation, labels, and settings screens. The wide, rounded geometry also performs well in contemporary branding and tech-adjacent identities, as well as short headlines and signage that benefit from strong, simple silhouettes.
The tone is modern and matter-of-fact, with a mild friendliness coming from the rounded corners. Its controlled geometry and consistent curvature suggest a technical, UI-forward personality rather than expressive or handwritten character. Overall it reads as calm, contemporary, and highly functional.
The design appears intended to blend geometric precision with approachable rounding, creating a contemporary sans that feels systematic without turning harsh. Its consistent superellipse shapes and restrained detailing suggest a focus on dependable readability and a cohesive, modern texture across letters and numbers.
The superellipse logic is especially apparent in C/G/S and in the squared-off rounding of O/0, giving the face a distinctive, system-like cohesion. Straight-sided letters (E, F, H, I, L, T) appear robust and steady, balancing the softer curves elsewhere. Spacing in the sample text looks comfortable and even, supporting legibility at larger text sizes and in headings.
