A clean, geometric sans with monoline strokes and a pronounced rounded-rectangle (superellipse) construction throughout. Curves terminate in softly squared corners, giving round letters like C, O, and Q a controlled, engineered feel rather than a purely circular one. The forms are compact and efficient, with straight-sided verticals, firm horizontals, and consistent stroke behavior; counters tend to be squarish and relatively tight, and apertures are on the more closed side. Lowercase shapes stay simple and utilitarian, with single-storey a and g, a short-armed r, and a tidy, rectangular dot on i/j; numerals follow the same squared-round logic for a cohesive text color.
Well-suited to UI and product contexts where clarity and consistency matter, such as app interfaces, dashboards, navigation, and labeling. Its compact geometry and controlled curves also work effectively for contemporary branding, packaging, and environmental graphics that benefit from a clean, engineered voice.
The overall tone is modern and matter-of-fact, with a subtle friendliness coming from the rounded geometry. It reads as contemporary and functional—appropriate for interfaces and systems—while avoiding coldness through softened corners and even rhythm.
The font appears intended as a versatile, modern workhorse that merges geometric discipline with softened, rounded-rectangle forms for a distinctive but restrained identity. The consistent construction suggests a focus on systematic coherence across letters and numbers, supporting clear reading while maintaining a recognizable design signature.
The design’s signature is its consistent “squircle” curvature: bowls and corners feel slightly squared, and joints stay crisp without sharp points. This creates a steady, uniform texture in paragraphs and a solid, assertive presence at larger sizes, especially in all-caps settings.
