A geometric sans built from rounded-rectangle and superelliptic strokes, drawn with a consistent, hairline-like monoline. Curves resolve into softly radiused corners, giving many round letters a squared-off, capsule silhouette (notably in C, O, Q, and the lowercase bowls). Proportions are expansive with generous horizontal spans and open internal spaces; terminals are clean and unflared, and joins are crisp with minimal stroke modulation. The rhythm feels modular and engineered, with simple, schematic diagonals and straight-sided forms that keep the alphabet visually uniform across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to large sizes where the thin strokes and rounded-rectangle details remain clear—such as interface headings, product/tech branding, motion graphics, posters, and contemporary signage. It can also work for short text blocks when set with ample size and spacing, but the delicate stroke weight suggests avoiding very small reproduction or low-contrast situations.
The overall tone is sleek and contemporary, leaning toward a sci‑fi/tech aesthetic. Its rounded-square geometry reads as orderly and digital, projecting a controlled, engineered character rather than a humanist or calligraphic one.
The design appears intended to translate a rounded-rectangular, systemized geometry into a readable alphabet, balancing strict modular construction with softened corners for approachability. It prioritizes a consistent visual logic across glyphs, aiming for a modern, tech-forward voice that feels neat and controlled.
Several glyphs emphasize a “soft box” construction: bowls often appear as rounded rectangles, and characters like G and S use squared curves that maintain consistent corner radii. Numerals follow the same system, with boxy 0/8/9 shapes and clean, linear 1/4/7 forms, supporting a cohesive, display-oriented set.
