A rounded, monoline sans with softened corners and consistently thick strokes that keep color even across words. Letterforms are built from simple geometric primitives—straight stems, broad curves, and open counters—giving the set a clean, engineered rhythm. Terminals are uniformly rounded, and joins tend to be smooth and bulb-like, creating a slightly “molded” feel. The proportions are compact and steady, with simple, legible numerals and single-storey lowercase forms that maintain a tidy, regular cadence in text.
Works well where consistent spacing and sturdy letterforms matter—interface labels, dashboards, code-like layouts, and product labeling. Its rounded geometry also suits posters, headings, and packaging that aim for a vintage-tech or approachable industrial character, while remaining readable in short paragraphs.
The overall tone feels retro-industrial and approachable: practical like labeling or instrumentation, but warmed by the rounded terminals and slightly playful shapes. It reads confidently and clearly without feeling sharp or austere, making it suitable for designs that want a friendly technical voice.
The design appears intended to balance clear, system-like legibility with softened, friendly contours. It prioritizes consistency and straightforward construction, offering a pragmatic voice that still feels distinctive and personable.
Several capitals emphasize distinctive silhouettes through open, rounded construction (notably the angular-yet-soft diagonals and the broad, squared-off curves). The lowercase maintains straightforward forms with minimal modulation, keeping word shapes stable and reducing visual noise in continuous copy.
