A delicate monoline sans built from rounded-rectangle (superellipse) geometry, with softly squared curves and consistently smooth terminals. Strokes stay even throughout, and the letterforms favor tall, streamlined proportions with generous internal space. Curves on C/G/S and the bowls of B/D/P/R read as controlled and symmetrical, while diagonals (V/W/X/Y/Z) are crisp and linear against the otherwise rounded system. The overall rhythm is tidy and regular, with a restrained, precise drawing style that keeps counters open and shapes uncluttered.
Best suited to display settings where its fine strokes and rounded-rect geometry can stay crisp—such as headlines, branding and wordmarks, editorial covers, posters, and modern packaging. It can work for short UI labels or captions when sized generously, but its delicacy favors clean layouts and high-contrast rendering over dense, small body text.
The tone is calm and refined, leaning toward a contemporary, gallery-like minimalism. Its thin, rounded construction feels technical yet friendly, suggesting a premium, modern sensibility rather than overt personality or nostalgia.
This font appears designed to deliver a sleek, geometric sans with a distinctive superellipse backbone—combining architectural precision with softened corners for a modern, approachable finish. The emphasis is on visual refinement and consistent shape logic across the alphabet and numerals.
The design language is especially cohesive across the rounded glyphs and numerals, where corners are softened without becoming fully circular. The lowercase keeps a simple, single-storey approach where applicable (notably the a), reinforcing the geometric, constructed feel. In longer text the light strokes and tall forms create a spacious, airy texture that benefits from ample size and contrast.
