A geometric sans with subtly superelliptical construction: round letters read as rounded-rectangle forms rather than perfect circles, with smooth, even curves and consistent stroke thickness. Terminals are clean and mostly square-cut, giving the shapes a crisp, engineered finish despite the overall softness. Counters are generous and open, and the lowercase shows simple, contemporary detailing (single-storey a and g, compact ear on g, minimal joins), producing a steady, readable rhythm. Figures are straightforward and sturdy, matching the letterforms’ balanced proportions and calm spacing.
Well suited for interface typography, dashboards, and product copy where clarity and neutrality are priorities. It also works for contemporary branding systems and editorial layouts that need a modern, unobtrusive sans with a slightly rounded, friendly voice. The crisp forms and open counters make it a good candidate for wayfinding or informational settings at larger sizes.
The tone is contemporary and approachable, blending a precise, product-minded crispness with rounded warmth. It feels practical and trustworthy rather than expressive or historical, with a quiet tech/UX sensibility that stays out of the way of the content.
Designed to deliver a modern geometric look with softened superelliptical curves for approachability, while maintaining a clear, efficient texture for continuous reading. The consistent stroke behavior and restrained detailing suggest an emphasis on dependable everyday typography for digital and print systems.
The uppercase set reads structured and signage-friendly, while the lowercase introduces slightly more softness through round joins and open bowls. Overall proportions and sidebearings appear even, supporting smooth text flow in the sample paragraph without drawing attention to individual glyph quirks.
