A monoline sans with softly squared, superellipse-like curves and rounded corners throughout. Strokes stay even and delicate, with a gentle reverse slant that gives lines a subtle back-lean. Counters are open and simplified, terminals tend to be clean and blunt rather than tapered, and round characters (like O, C, G) read as rounded-rectangle forms rather than perfect circles. Proportions are generally compact and tall, with straightforward construction in capitals and slightly more personable, handwritten-inflected shapes in the lowercase.
Well-suited to contemporary editorial layouts, headings, and display text where a light, distinctive voice is desired. It can also work for packaging and branding systems aiming for friendly modernism, and for UI labels or short strings where the airy weight and soft geometry help maintain a clean, approachable feel.
The overall tone feels light and informal, balancing geometric order with a mildly offbeat, human touch. The reverse slant adds a distinctive, slightly contrarian personality that can read playful and modern rather than strictly neutral.
Likely designed to combine geometric, superellipse-based construction with a relaxed, characterful slant, offering a recognizable alternative to neutral grotesks. The intent appears to be clarity and simplicity at a light weight, with enough personality to stand out in headlines and identity work.
In text, the even stroke and soft geometry produce a calm rhythm, while the back-lean and occasional quirky details (notably in curves and tails) keep it from feeling purely utilitarian. Numerals follow the same rounded-rect logic, with simple, readable forms.
