A rounded, geometric sans with monoline strokes and a distinctly modular construction. Curves are built from smooth arches and near-circular bowls, while terminals are clean and blunt, often with soft corner rounding. Several glyphs show split or bridged joins (notably in forms like m/n and some diagonals), creating a subtle stencil-like rhythm within otherwise simple shapes. Proportions are open and roomy, with generous counters and straightforward, low-contrast forms that keep the texture even in text.
Well-suited to branding and headline work where a friendly, constructed personality is desirable—such as packaging, posters, and identity systems with a retro-tech or playful bent. It can also work in short UI display strings or labels, where the rounded geometry and open counters help maintain clarity at larger sizes.
The overall tone is playful and slightly retro-futuristic, mixing friendly rounded shapes with a quirky, engineered logic. The bridged details and simplified geometry give it a graphic, constructed feel that reads as modernist but informal.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a clean sans through modular, rounded building blocks and occasional bridged joints, adding character without relying on serifs or calligraphic contrast. The goal seems to be a distinctive, approachable display voice that stays structurally consistent across the alphabet and numerals.
Distinctive letterforms include single-storey a and g, a compact r with a small shoulder, and a y with a deep, curved descender. The zero is slashed, and many lowercase shapes rely on repeated arch motifs, reinforcing the typeface’s modular personality.
