A geometric, monoline sans built from rounded-rectangle (superellipse) forms and straight segments. Corners are consistently softened, producing squarish counters and bowls (notably in C, D, O, Q, and 0) with a clearly constructed, modular feel. Strokes maintain an even thickness with crisp terminals, and curves are typically expressed as flattened arcs rather than fully circular rounds. Proportions are clean and modern, with a tall x-height and narrow apertures that keep letters compact and grid-aligned in rhythm.
Works well for interface labels, dashboards, and product UI where a geometric, rounded-square voice fits the environment. It also suits tech branding, editorial titles, and posters that benefit from a futuristic, constructed silhouette. For longer passages, it’s best used at comfortable sizes where the squared counters and tight apertures remain clear.
The overall tone reads technological and engineered, with a controlled, schematic character. Its rounded-square geometry evokes digital interfaces, sci‑fi labeling, and industrial design, while the softened corners keep it from feeling harsh or aggressive. The effect is modern, precise, and intentionally stylized rather than neutral.
The design appears intended to translate a rounded-rectangle grid logic into a readable sans, prioritizing consistency of corner radii and modular curves across the alphabet. It aims to balance a futuristic, device-like aesthetic with straightforward letterforms that remain legible in short to medium text settings.
Distinctive details include squared bowls in B and P, an open, squared G with a horizontal bar, and numerals that mirror the same rounded-rect construction. Diagonals in K, V, W, X, Y, and Z are clean and slightly mechanical, reinforcing the modular system. Spacing in text samples feels even and airy, supporting line-by-line readability while preserving the font’s constructed aesthetic.
