A geometric sans with a superellipse-driven skeleton: round letters read like softened rectangles, and straight strokes terminate in crisp, squared ends. Curves are broad and controlled, producing smooth bowls in C, O, and Q and a notably stable, engineered feel. Proportions are fairly compact with consistent stroke thickness and tidy counters, giving text an even color. The lowercase forms are simple and highly regular, with a single-storey a and g and restrained joins and apertures.
It performs well in UI and product contexts where a modern, approachable sans is needed, and it can also serve in branding and packaging that benefit from a tidy geometric voice. The consistent texture and controlled shapes make it suitable for signage and short editorial passages, especially at display and subhead sizes.
The overall tone is contemporary and pragmatic, balancing friendliness from the rounded forms with a confident, technical steadiness. It feels straightforward rather than expressive, suited to interfaces and systems where clarity and consistency matter.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary geometric sans that feels precise yet approachable by combining rounded-rectangle curves with crisp, no-nonsense terminals. The emphasis is on consistency, clarity, and a stable typographic color across letters and numbers.
The numerals are clean and utilitarian, matching the squared-off terminals and rounded-rectangle curves of the letters. In running text, the rhythm is uniform and slightly compact, with clear separation between similarly shaped glyphs through subtle shape cues rather than contrast or decoration.
