A slim, geometric sans built from rounded-rectangle curves and straight, monoline strokes. Corners are softly radiused rather than fully circular, giving bowls and counters a superelliptical feel. Proportions are tall and compact, with tight horizontal footprint and generous vertical rhythm; curves tend to be squared-off, and terminals are clean and abrupt. Spacing appears even and controlled, producing a consistent, grid-like texture in text.
Works well for interface typography, dashboards, device graphics, and compact labeling where a clean, technical voice is desired. The condensed build and consistent stroke make it effective for short headlines, brand marks, and signage-style applications that benefit from a sleek, modern texture.
The overall tone is modern and engineered, with a sleek, streamlined presence that reads as digital and contemporary. Its rounded-square geometry adds a friendly softness while keeping a precise, utilitarian character.
The design appears intended to translate a rounded-rectangular, system-like geometry into a readable sans, prioritizing consistency and a controlled, modern rhythm. It aims to feel contemporary and technical while maintaining approachable softness through rounded corners.
Distinctive forms include rounded-rectangular bowls in letters like O/Q and squared curve behavior in C/S, reinforcing a cohesive modular construction. Numerals follow the same narrow, technical logic, matching the font’s tidy, schematic rhythm.
