A clean sans with softly squared, superellipse-like curves and subtly rounded corners throughout. Strokes are uniform and steady, producing a solid, even color in text. Round letters (C, G, O, Q) lean toward rounded-rectangle geometry rather than perfect circles, while verticals and horizontals stay straightforward and crisp. Lowercase forms are simple and compact with closed apertures (notably in c/e/s) and a single-storey a; the overall spacing reads balanced and consistent, supporting clear word shapes at text sizes.
Works well for UI and product typography where a neutral voice and clear shapes are needed, especially in labels, navigation, and dashboards. The sturdy, rounded construction also suits wayfinding and general signage, and it can serve as a dependable sans for branding systems that want a modern but approachable edge.
The tone is modern and practical with a gentle friendliness from the rounded shaping. It feels calm and matter-of-fact rather than expressive, projecting clarity and reliability. The squared-round construction adds a subtly contemporary, tech-adjacent flavor without becoming stylized.
Likely designed as a versatile everyday sans that prioritizes consistency, legibility, and a contemporary rounded-rectangle aesthetic. The restrained detailing and uniform stroke behavior suggest an intent to perform reliably across varied sizes and layout contexts while maintaining a subtly friendly character.
Capitals are tall and confident with broad, stable structure; the S is smooth and compact, and the Q has a short, clean tail. Numerals are straightforward and legible with simple geometry and minimal quirks, matching the typeface’s overall restrained approach.
