A clean sans with monoline strokes and softly squared, superelliptical rounding throughout. Curves transition smoothly into straights, giving bowls and counters a rounded-rectangle feel rather than purely circular geometry. Terminals are mostly blunt and tidy, with consistent stroke endings and restrained detailing. Proportions are balanced and contemporary, with open apertures and clear internal space that keeps letters readable at a range of sizes.
Well suited to interface typography, product labeling, and general-purpose digital design where clarity and a polished geometric voice are needed. The rounded structure also works effectively for brand systems and headings that want a contemporary, friendly tone without looking playful. Its tidy construction can carry wayfinding and signage applications when set with generous spacing.
The overall tone is modern and approachable, combining a slightly technical, engineered geometry with gentle softness from the rounded forms. It reads as calm and neutral rather than expressive, making it feel dependable and contemporary without becoming stark.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern geometric sans that stays legible and pragmatic while introducing a distinctive superelliptical softness. It aims for broad usability, with consistent shapes and restrained personality that supports clean layout and system design.
Uppercase forms are simple and schematic, while lowercase keeps a straightforward, single-storey construction where applicable, reinforcing the geometric logic. Numerals follow the same rounded-rectilinear motif, with smooth curves and stable verticals that align visually with the letters.
