A contemporary sans with a squared-round construction: many curves resolve into rounded-rectangle (superellipse-like) bowls and counters, giving letters a crisp yet softened silhouette. Strokes are largely monoline with minimal contrast and mostly straight terminals, producing an even, steady texture in text. Proportions lean compact with a tall lowercase presence and short extenders, while round letters like O/o and Q show rounded-corner geometry rather than pure circles. Numerals are sturdy and simplified, with consistent widths and clear, blocky shapes that match the alphabet’s squared curves.
Well-suited to interface typography, dashboards, and product/brand systems that need a clean, controlled voice. The sturdy letterforms and simplified figures also work for signage, headlines, and informational layouts where quick recognition is important.
The overall tone is modern and practical with a subtle friendliness from the rounded corners. It reads as efficient and engineered rather than expressive, suggesting contemporary interfaces and product communication where clarity and restraint matter.
The font appears designed to blend geometric order with approachable rounded corners, delivering a contemporary sans optimized for clear reading and consistent rhythm across mixed-case text and numerals.
The design maintains a consistent squared-round rhythm across caps, lowercase, and figures, creating a cohesive set that feels systematic. In the sample text, word shapes stay stable and legible, and the rounded-rectangle counters help keep small apertures from collapsing in heavier text settings.
