A clean, monoline sans with a distinctly squared, superelliptical construction: curves resolve into rounded-rectangle bowls and terminals rather than purely circular forms. Strokes stay even with minimal modulation, and joins allow generous rounding that keeps corners soft while preserving a structured, grid-like feel. Proportions are compact and efficient, with wide apertures and open counters that help maintain clarity in dense settings. Numerals share the same rounded-rect geometry, producing consistent rhythm across letters and figures.
Well-suited to interface typography, dashboards, and product environments where a neutral voice and consistent geometry are helpful. The open counters and straightforward forms also make it a solid choice for labels, wayfinding, and short-to-medium text blocks that need to stay legible at varying sizes.
The overall tone is contemporary and matter-of-fact, leaning toward a technical, product-oriented voice rather than expressive or calligraphic. Its softened corners add approachability, but the underlying geometry keeps it disciplined and systematic.
The likely intent is to deliver a modern workhorse sans with a distinctive superelliptical skeleton—combining the clarity of geometric construction with softened corners for a friendly, contemporary finish.
The design favors squarish bowls in characters like B, D, O, P, and Q, giving the type a distinctive “rounded box” silhouette. Diagonals (A, K, V, W, X, Y) remain crisp and straightforward, reinforcing a practical, engineered aesthetic.
