A monolinear sans with rounded-rectangle (superellipse) construction: curves resolve into softened corners, and many bowls and counters feel squarish rather than purely circular. Strokes are even and steady with minimal modulation, producing a clean, consistent color in text. Terminals are generally blunt and gently rounded, and the overall geometry reads structured and orderly. Letterforms lean toward simplified, utilitarian shapes, with open apertures and compact, well-contained counters that keep the design crisp at display and text sizes.
Well-suited for interface typography, product labeling, and information-forward settings where clarity and consistency matter. The rounded, squared forms also make it a good fit for contemporary branding, signage, and editorial subheads that want a clean, slightly softened technical feel.
The tone is modern and matter-of-fact, with a subtle friendliness coming from the rounded corners. Its geometry suggests a contemporary, engineered sensibility—calm, clear, and slightly tech-oriented rather than expressive or calligraphic.
The design appears intended to merge geometric cleanliness with a more approachable edge by replacing hard corners with rounded, superelliptical curves. It prioritizes uniformity, legibility, and a systematic shape language that stays consistent across letters and numerals.
Round characters such as O/Q and numerals show a distinct squircle tendency, reinforcing the superellipse theme. The figures appear straightforward and legible, matching the same rounded-corner logic as the letters for a cohesive typographic system.
