A clean sans with a geometric, superelliptical construction: bowls and counters lean toward rounded-rectangle forms rather than perfect circles. Strokes are largely monoline with smooth joins, and terminals are squared-off with softened corners, giving the design a controlled, engineered feel. Proportions are straightforward and consistent, with generous apertures and clear interior space that keep letters and numerals crisp at display sizes and readable in text. The overall rhythm is even and stable, with a slightly compact, efficient footprint in many glyphs.
Well-suited for user interfaces, app and web typography, dashboards, and other information-forward layouts where clarity and consistency matter. Its tidy geometry and restrained personality also work for contemporary branding, wayfinding, packaging, and short headlines that benefit from a modern, structured look.
The tone reads modern and utilitarian, with a subtle friendliness from the rounded corners. It feels contemporary and “digital” without becoming overtly futuristic, striking a neutral voice suited to interface and product contexts.
The design appears intended to provide a dependable, contemporary sans that stays highly legible while expressing a subtle, tech-leaning identity through rounded-rectangle geometry and consistent stroke behavior.
Curves tend to resolve into flattened arcs and rounded corners, reinforcing the superellipse motif across both uppercase and lowercase. Numerals match the same geometry, mixing straight segments with softened corners for a cohesive, system-like character.
