A clean sans serif with a square-oval construction: round letters are built from rounded rectangles, giving bowls and counters a superellipse feel. Strokes are largely uniform with subtle modulation, and terminals are crisp and mostly horizontal/vertical, supporting a tidy, engineered rhythm. Uppercase forms are broad and stable with generous interior space, while lowercase maintains clear, open apertures and straightforward joins. Numerals follow the same squared-round logic, with smooth curves and compact, legible counters.
It is well suited to interface typography, product branding, and wayfinding where consistent shapes and open counters support fast recognition. The wide, steady proportions also make it a good choice for headlines, labels, and informational graphics that need a modern, structured look.
The overall tone is contemporary and pragmatic, balancing a friendly softness from the rounded corners with a precise, utilitarian structure. It reads as quietly confident and system-like—more product and interface than editorial—without feeling cold.
The design appears intended to deliver a neutral, highly legible sans with a distinctive superellipse skeleton, offering a recognizable geometric flavor while staying practical for everyday text and display use.
Curves tend to flatten slightly at extrema, reinforcing the rounded-rectangle geometry across letters and figures. The punctuation in the sample text (periods, apostrophe, ampersand) appears simple and sturdy, matching the no-nonsense text color.
