A clean, rounded sans with lightly modulated strokes and generous interior space. Curves tend toward superelliptical shapes, giving bowls and counters a soft rectangular roundness rather than a purely circular feel. Terminals are mostly straight and unadorned, with crisp joins and a consistent, even rhythm across lines of text. Uppercase forms are broad and simple, while lowercase shows clear, open construction (notably in the single-storey a and g) and straightforward punctuation-free silhouettes. Numerals are similarly open and linear, with a plain, legible build and smooth curves in 6/8/9.
Works well for interface copy, labels, and product surfaces where clarity at small-to-medium sizes matters, while still maintaining a polished, modern voice. It also suits headings and short editorial passages that benefit from an airy, evenly paced texture and softly geometric forms.
The tone is contemporary and calm, combining a rational, engineered clarity with approachable roundedness. It feels neutral enough for informational use, yet slightly friendly due to the softened geometry and open shapes.
The design appears aimed at a contemporary, highly legible sans that balances geometric structure with softened, superelliptical round forms for a more approachable, modern system type feel.
Spacing appears comfortable, contributing to a breathable texture in paragraphs. The rounded-rectangle logic is especially visible in C/G/O/Q-style forms, which read as gently squared-off rather than perfectly oval.
