A clean geometric sans with softly rounded, superellipse-like curves and generally uniform stroke weight. Curves resolve into slightly squared-off rounds, giving counters and bowls a rounded-rectangle feel rather than purely circular geometry. Terminals are smooth and blunt, joins are crisp, and proportions are balanced with clear differentiation between straight stems and curved sections. The lowercase shows single-storey forms (notably a and g), open apertures, and sturdy verticals, while the numerals are straightforward and legible with simple, contemporary shapes.
Well suited to interface typography, product and corporate systems, and clear informational design where a contemporary, unobtrusive sans is needed. The sturdy shapes and open forms also make it appropriate for signage and short-to-medium headlines, as well as clean editorial callouts.
The overall tone is modern and neutral with a gentle friendliness from the softened corners. It reads as practical and straightforward rather than expressive, with a calm, contemporary presence that suits general-purpose communication.
Likely intended as a versatile, contemporary workhorse sans that blends geometric discipline with softened corners for a more approachable feel. The superellipse-inspired rounding suggests a goal of harmonizing sharp structure with smooth, modern curves for consistent, dependable readability across applications.
The design maintains consistent rhythm and spacing in text, with round characters (O, C, G, Q) keeping a controlled, slightly squarish curvature. Diacritics are not shown; punctuation visible in the sample is simple and workmanlike, supporting clear reading at larger text sizes.
