A monoline sans with a strong superelliptic construction: bowls and rounds read as rounded rectangles with softened corners rather than true circles. Strokes are even and crisp, with squared terminals frequently eased by rounding, producing a clean, engineered rhythm. The lowercase shows simple, open forms (notably the c/e/s) and single-story a and g; the m/n are built from repeated rounded arches. Figures follow the same rounded-rectangle logic with clear, compact shapes and consistent stroke weight, giving the set a coherent, system-like feel.
Well-suited to user interfaces, dashboards, and product surfaces where a clean, contemporary sans is needed with a distinctive rounded-rect geometry. It can also serve branding systems, packaging, and wayfinding that benefit from a modern, friendly technical tone. The style scales nicely from headings to short text blocks where consistency and clarity are prioritized.
The overall tone is contemporary and technical while staying approachable due to the generous corner rounding and open interiors. It suggests interface design, modern product branding, and a slightly futuristic aesthetic without feeling aggressive. The regularity of curves and terminals reads as precise and controlled, contributing to a calm, orderly voice.
The design appears intended to merge geometric rigor with softened edges, using superellipse-derived rounds to create a recognizable silhouette that still reads clearly in continuous text. It aims for a modern, digital-native voice that feels precise, minimal, and approachable.
Curvature is highly consistent across glyphs, and many joins favor smooth, squared-off geometry over calligraphic modulation. Several characters emphasize straight verticals paired with rounded corners, creating a distinctive “soft-rectangular” silhouette that remains legible at text sizes while looking especially crisp in larger display settings.
