A crisp monoline sans with a rounded-rectangle, superelliptical construction. Curves resolve into soft corners rather than perfect circles, and many joins use smooth, continuous transitions that keep the stroke rhythm even. Proportions feel broadly geometric with generous interior space and open apertures (notably in C, S, and e), while the counters in O/0 and D read as squared-off rounds. Terminals are clean and unflared, and the overall drawing favors simple, legible silhouettes with a slightly modular, engineered consistency.
This font suits interface typography, dashboards, and settings where clarity at small-to-medium sizes is important and a modern tone is desired. It also works well for tech-forward branding, product packaging, and signage systems that benefit from rounded geometry and a clean, consistent texture.
The rounded geometry and even stroke weight give the face a calm, modern tone—clean and technical without feeling sharp. Its soft corners add approachability, suggesting contemporary UI and product design contexts while maintaining a streamlined, forward-looking feel.
The design appears intended to merge geometric rigor with softened corners, creating a contemporary sans that feels engineered yet approachable. Its consistent stroke behavior and superellipse-driven forms suggest an emphasis on coherence across letters and numerals for practical, system-oriented typography.
Several glyphs emphasize distinctive, rounded-rect counter shapes (O, Q, 0, 8), reinforcing the superelliptical theme. The uppercase set reads sturdy and schematic, while the lowercase remains simple and functional, with clear differentiation in forms like a, g, and y. Numerals follow the same softened-rectangle logic, producing a consistent texture alongside text.
