A geometric sans built from rounded-rectangle (superellipse) forms and straight segments, drawn with a consistently thin, monoline stroke. Curves are broad and squared-off at the extremes, producing boxy bowls in letters like C, D, O, and Q, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y) stay crisp and linear. Counters are generous and open, terminals are clean and unbracketed, and overall spacing feels even with a calm, measured rhythm. The lowercase follows the same modular logic, with single-storey a and g and simplified, rectilinear joins.
Best suited to contemporary contexts where a clean, technological voice is desired: UI labels and product surfaces, tech or hardware branding, and modern display headlines. It can also work for signage or short informational text where its open counters and simplified forms help maintain clarity at larger sizes.
The overall tone is modern and engineered, with a calm, high-tech sensibility. Its rounded-square geometry reads as contemporary and interface-oriented, balancing friendliness from the soft corners with a precise, schematic feel.
The design appears intended to translate a rounded-rectangular, modular geometry into an everyday sans, emphasizing consistency and a recognizable silhouette. By reducing forms to smooth superelliptic bowls and straight connectors, it aims for a modern, system-like aesthetic that stays legible while feeling distinctly contemporary.
Distinctive rectangular bowls and rounded corners create a strong identity in numerals and capitals; figures like 2, 3, and 5 echo the same squared curve language. The design maintains a consistent stroke behavior across curved and straight components, giving text a clean, grid-like coherence in running samples.
