A clean geometric sans with subtly squared, superelliptic curves and softly rounded corners. Strokes are monolinear with calm, consistent modulation, and terminals finish in crisp, mostly horizontal or vertical cuts rather than calligraphic endings. Round letters like O/C/G read as rounded-rectangular forms, while straight-sided letters (E/F/H/L/T) keep a tidy, engineered feel. Lowercase shapes are straightforward and highly legible, with open apertures and uncomplicated joins; numerals are similarly simple and text-oriented.
It works well for interface typography, product UI, and general-purpose branding where clarity and restraint are priorities. The sturdy, simple letterforms and open counters also suit editorial layouts, wayfinding, and presentation graphics that need consistent legibility across sizes.
The overall tone is contemporary and quietly utilitarian, pairing a technical, structured skeleton with approachable rounded geometry. It feels neutral and dependable rather than expressive, making it easy to use as a “default” voice in modern interfaces and brand systems.
The design appears intended as a pragmatic geometric sans with softened, superelliptic round forms—aiming for modern clarity and system-ready neutrality while avoiding the sharpness of purely rectilinear construction.
The family’s character comes from the tension between straight stems and gently squared curves, which creates a disciplined rhythm without looking harsh. The punctuation-like forms in the sample (colon, apostrophe) match the same clean, no-fuss construction and sit comfortably at text sizes.
