A compact sans with softly squared, superellipse-like curves and rounded corners throughout. Strokes read as mostly monoline with low contrast, but with subtle irregularities that suggest an inked or lightly distressed edge rather than perfectly geometric outlines. Counters are fairly open for the width, and curves resolve into blunt, softened terminals instead of sharp cuts. Overall proportions are narrow and tidy, with a steady rhythm and straightforward construction across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Well-suited to packaging, labels, posters, and branding that benefit from a friendly, slightly tactile sans. It can also work for signage and short text blocks where a compact footprint is helpful, though the inked edge texture will be most effective at medium-to-large sizes.
The texture and softened geometry give it a friendly, practical tone—more approachable than clinical. Its slightly rough perimeter adds a handmade, printed feel that leans casual and a bit retro, while still staying clear and workmanlike.
The design appears intended to blend geometric, rounded-rectangle structure with a subtly imperfect printed texture—offering a clear, compact sans that feels human and approachable rather than strictly mechanical.
Round letters like O and Q are squarish-rounded rather than circular, reinforcing the superellipse structure; the Q has a simple, short tail. The lowercase shows single-storey forms where expected and keeps descenders compact, supporting dense setting. Numerals follow the same softened, inked geometry and remain legible at display sizes.
