A clean geometric sans with rounded-rectangle (superellipse) construction and very smooth curves. Strokes are even and fine, with minimal contrast and crisp, squared-off terminals that keep counters open and legible. Proportions run generously wide, with a steady, calm rhythm in text and clear separation between characters. Curves in letters like C, G, O, and S feel controlled and slightly squared, while straight-sided forms (E, F, H, N) stay plain and uncluttered.
This font suits UI and product surfaces, where even strokes and open apertures support clarity at small sizes. Its wide, rounded geometry also works well for signage and wayfinding, and for contemporary packaging or brand headlines that want a calm, modern presence without looking overly clinical.
The overall tone is contemporary and approachable, balancing a technical, engineered feel with soft rounding that avoids harshness. It reads as neutral and functional, suitable for interfaces and modern branding where clarity and restraint are desired.
The design appears intended to deliver a straightforward, contemporary sans with softened geometry—prioritizing clarity, consistency, and a distinctive superellipse silhouette for a subtly branded, modern look.
The design favors simple geometry and consistent spacing, with numerals that match the same rounded, open treatment as the letters. Round letters maintain a subtly squarish silhouette, reinforcing the superelliptical theme across the set.
