A monoline sans with softly squared, superellipse-like curves and rounded corners that keep forms calm and controlled. Strokes are even and clean, with open apertures and generous internal counters that support clarity. Terminals are predominantly straight and neatly finished, while curves (notably in C, G, O, and S) follow a consistent rounded-rectangle logic. Lowercase shows a single-storey a and g, a compact, straight-shouldered r, and an uncluttered f; overall spacing reads even and measured.
This font suits interface copy, dashboards, and product/system typography where neutral tone and clear shapes matter. Its open forms and consistent rhythm also make it a good fit for signage, charts, and editorial layouts that aim for a modern, unobtrusive voice.
The tone is contemporary and matter-of-fact, with a slightly engineered feel coming from the squarish rounds and consistent geometry. It communicates clarity and restraint rather than personality or warmth, making it feel systematic and dependable.
The design appears intended to provide a clean, contemporary workhorse sans built on superelliptical geometry—balancing friendliness from rounded corners with the precision of squared curves for clear, consistent everyday typography.
Figures are simple and highly legible, matching the geometric rhythm of the letters. The uppercase set appears built from straightforward constructions with minimal modulation, and the lowercase maintains the same disciplined curvature and tidy joins, producing a cohesive texture in paragraph settings.
