A rounded sans with a consistent oblique slant and smooth, low-contrast strokes. Curves are built from soft superellipse-like forms, producing squarish rounds in letters like O/C and similarly rounded corners throughout. Terminals are clean and unadorned, joins are crisp, and counters stay relatively open, giving a clear, contemporary texture. Proportions are even and pragmatic, with a slightly geometric rhythm and numerals that follow the same rounded, simplified construction.
Works well for interface typography, app and dashboard labels, and product or tech branding where a rounded, modern voice is desired. The oblique stance also lends itself to punchy headlines, short marketing lines, and display settings where motion and emphasis are useful without becoming decorative.
The overall tone feels modern and efficient, with a friendly edge coming from the rounded geometry. It reads as contemporary and understated rather than expressive or calligraphic, making it suitable for design systems that aim to feel approachable while staying precise.
The design appears intended to merge geometric clarity with approachable rounded forms, delivering a contemporary sans that feels systematic and usable while retaining a distinctive soft-cornered signature.
The slant is steady across capitals, lowercase, and figures, and the shapes maintain a consistent corner radius that reinforces a cohesive, system-like look. The sample text shows smooth word shapes and a tidy, even color at larger sizes.
