A monoline geometric sans with a distinctly modular construction. Many curves are rendered as squared-off, rounded-corner turns, giving bowls and counters a rectilinear, “soft-rectangle” feel. Strokes maintain consistent thickness, with frequent use of straight segments and clipped terminals; diagonals are clean and crisp, especially in A, V, W, X, and Y. The overall rhythm is airy with clear interior space, and proportions lean slightly compact in curved letters due to the squared bowls.
Works well where a geometric, system-like voice is desired: UI labels, dashboards, product surfaces, and technology branding. Its stylized curve treatment makes it effective for headlines, posters, and short-copy packaging where the distinctive shapes can be appreciated at display sizes.
The letterforms suggest a contemporary, tech-forward tone—more interface and hardware than editorial. The squared curves and controlled geometry read as engineered and systematic, while the rounded corners keep it approachable rather than harsh. Overall it feels modern, synthetic, and slightly retro-futurist.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a standard sans skeleton through a modular, squared-curve construction, prioritizing a consistent, engineered texture. It aims to balance recognizability with a bespoke, digital-industrial personality suitable for contemporary display and interface contexts.
Distinctive identifiers include the boxy, rounded-corner O/0 forms and the consistent squared treatment of curves across uppercase and lowercase. The numerals follow the same construction logic, mixing straight runs with rounded corners for a coherent, set-like appearance. The design maintains legibility through open counters and clear silhouettes despite the unconventional curve handling.
