A monoline, softly geometric sans with an italic slant and rounded-rectangle construction. Curves resolve into squared-off terminals and corners, giving bowls and counters a superellipse-like feel rather than true circles. Proportions are narrow-to-moderate with a tall x-height, compact apertures, and smooth, even stroke weight. The overall rhythm is tidy and engineered, with slightly squared curves on letters like C, O, and S, and streamlined, minimal detailing across the set.
Well suited to UI labels, dashboards, and interface-like typography where a clean, engineered texture is desired. It also fits tech and lifestyle branding, packaging, and contemporary posters that benefit from a sleek italic sans with distinctive rounded-square letterforms. For longer text, it works best at comfortable sizes where the compact apertures remain clear.
The font reads as modern and tech-forward, with a subtle retro-digital flavor created by its rounded-square geometry and consistent, schematic strokes. Its italic posture adds momentum and a sense of motion without becoming expressive or calligraphic. The tone is cool, efficient, and contemporary—more interface and product than editorial.
The design appears intended to merge a friendly rounded feel with a precise, system-driven geometry. By using squared curves and consistent monoline strokes, it aims for a recognizable, futuristic voice while staying clean and functional in display and short-text settings.
Numerals and uppercase shapes echo the same rounded-rectangle logic, keeping a cohesive, system-like texture in lines of text. The lowercase forms maintain clear silhouettes, though the tight apertures and squared curves can create a slightly compressed, instrumental look at smaller sizes.
