A delicate, geometric sans with monoline strokes and generous counters. Curves are drawn as rounded-rectangle/superellipse forms, giving O/C/G/Q and bowls a softly squared, controlled geometry rather than purely circular shapes. Terminals are clean and unbracketed, joins are crisp, and spacing is open, producing a light, even rhythm in text. Numerals follow the same restrained construction, with simple curves and straight-sided verticals that keep the overall texture consistent.
Best suited to headlines, brand marks, and large-format typography where its thin strokes and geometric rhythm can stay crisp. It also works well for editorial pull quotes and minimalist UI or labeling when used at larger sizes with sufficient contrast against the background.
The overall tone is quiet and precise, with an airy, understated elegance. Its superellipse curves and minimal detailing read as modern and technical, while the extreme delicacy gives it a refined, almost architectural lightness.
This design appears intended to deliver a modern geometric voice built from superellipse-like curves, prioritizing clarity, restraint, and a consistent linear construction. The goal seems to be a clean, contemporary texture that feels precise and polished without decorative flourish.
The face maintains a consistent stroke logic across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, with a notably clean baseline behavior and minimal contrast. The narrow proportions and open apertures keep letterforms legible in short text, but the very thin strokes suggest it will be most comfortable where reproduction is crisp and sizes are not too small.
