A clean sans with softly rounded, superellipse-like curves and a calm, even rhythm. Strokes are monolinear and smooth, with gently rounded corners and mostly straight-sided counters that feel subtly squared-off rather than purely circular. Proportions read slightly expanded, with generous interior space and open apertures that keep letterforms clear at text sizes. Terminals are uncomplicated and consistent, producing a tidy texture in paragraphs and a crisp, contemporary silhouette in capitals and numerals.
Works well for interface typography, dashboards, and product design where clarity and a steady rhythm matter. The open shapes and generous counters also suit wayfinding and signage, while the smooth geometry can support contemporary branding and clean editorial layouts, especially at small-to-medium sizes.
The overall tone is modern and approachable, combining a technical neatness with soft, friendly geometry. It feels neutral and confident rather than expressive, lending a contemporary, product-minded character without looking cold.
Likely designed to offer a contemporary, system-friendly sans voice with softened geometry—balancing a precise construction with rounded forms for improved approachability and readability in everyday, mixed-content settings.
The numerals and capitals maintain the same rounded-rect geometry as the lowercase, which helps UI-like consistency across mixed settings. Diacritics visible on sample letters (e.g., accented forms) appear simple and centered, matching the font’s restrained detailing.
