A squared-rounded sans with monoline strokes and a superelliptical construction that keeps curves boxy and corners generously softened. The uppercase is compact and sturdy, while the lowercase shows a tall x-height with short extenders, producing a dense, efficient texture in paragraphs. Terminals are mostly flat and horizontal/vertical, counters are rounded-rectangular, and many apertures lean closed, giving letters a slightly “capsule” feel. Diacritics and punctuation are simple and blocky, and numerals follow the same rounded-rect geometry for a consistent, modular rhythm.
Well-suited to UI text, buttons, navigation, and product labeling where a compact, high-x-height sans helps maintain legibility in limited space. Its strong, rounded-rect silhouette also works for contemporary headlines, wayfinding, and brand systems that want a friendly technical feel without becoming overtly decorative.
The overall tone is modern and tech-adjacent—clean, pragmatic, and slightly playful due to the rounded corners and compact bowls. It reads as approachable rather than sharp, with a contemporary, interface-oriented character that feels engineered and systematic.
Likely designed to deliver a contemporary, modular sans with softened geometry—balancing a technical, grid-based build with enough rounding to feel approachable in everyday interface and branding contexts.
The design emphasizes uniformity and grid-like spacing, with shapes that look optimized for clarity at medium sizes. Round letters (like O/C/G) stay squarish rather than fully circular, and joins remain sturdy, reinforcing a functional, display-to-UI sensibility.
