A crisp geometric sans with rounded-rectangle construction and consistently softened corners throughout. Strokes are uniformly thin and even, with clean terminals and a restrained, almost schematic rhythm. Round letters (C, O, Q, e) read as squarish superellipses, while straight-sided forms (E, F, H, I, L) stay rigid and uncluttered. Counters are open and generously proportioned, and the overall spacing feels calm and breathable, supporting clear word shapes in text.
Well-suited to user interfaces, dashboards, and product branding where a light, precise voice is needed without visual noise. It also fits signage and wayfinding at larger sizes thanks to open shapes and simplified details, and it can serve clean editorial layouts and infographics where a modern, geometric tone is desired.
The tone is contemporary and minimal, combining a precise, engineered feel with approachable rounding that keeps it from feeling cold. It suggests modern product design and interface aesthetics—quiet, orderly, and unobtrusive—while remaining friendly enough for everyday editorial use.
Likely designed to provide a minimal, contemporary sans that balances geometric discipline with rounded, superelliptical forms for a softer, more human-facing finish. The consistent stroke treatment and uncluttered shapes emphasize clarity, neutrality, and reliable readability across display and text settings.
Numerals follow the same rounded-rect logic, with a simple, linear construction and clear differentiation between similar shapes. The lowercase shows straightforward, single-storey forms where applicable and maintains an even texture line-to-line, giving paragraphs a smooth, consistent color.
