A geometric sans built from rounded-rectangle and superellipse-like curves, with softly squared bowls and corners throughout. Strokes are monoline and evenly weighted, with a spacious, horizontal stance and generous interior counters. Round letters like O, Q, and G read more like rounded squares than true circles, while straighter forms (E, F, H, L) keep crisp right angles softened by subtle radii. Lowercase follows the same constructed logic, with compact, tidy terminals and simple, unadorned joins that keep texture smooth in continuous text.
This style suits interface typography, product and app branding, and informational layouts where clean geometry and consistent rhythm matter. Its open forms and even strokes make it a good candidate for signage and wayfinding, as well as contemporary packaging and labels that benefit from a modern, precise voice.
The overall tone is contemporary and utilitarian, with a mild friendliness from the rounded geometry. It feels tech-adjacent and system-like rather than expressive, prioritizing clarity and a calm, controlled rhythm.
The design appears intended to deliver a crisp, contemporary sans with a distinctive superellipse skeleton—balancing mechanical geometry with softened corners to remain approachable. It prioritizes consistent construction across glyphs, predictable spacing, and clear, no-nonsense readability in practical settings.
Distinctive superellipse rounding creates a consistent family resemblance across caps, lowercase, and figures, giving the face a slightly “softened industrial” character. Numerals appear straightforward and legible, matching the same rounded-square curvature and even stroke behavior for a cohesive typographic color.
