This typeface is built from monoline strokes with a squared, superelliptic skeleton: bowls and rounds read as rounded rectangles, while diagonals stay crisp and straight. Corners are consistently softened, giving most glyphs a capsule-like finish, and terminals tend to end flat rather than taper. Proportions are horizontally expansive with generous apertures and open counters, especially visible in C, G, S, and the lowercase e. The lowercase is simple and architectural, pairing single-storey a and g with narrow joints and minimal modulation; figures follow the same rounded-rectangle logic, with a squared 0 and evenly drawn 8 and 9.
It suits interface typography, display headlines, and technology-oriented branding where a clean, contemporary voice is needed. The wide, open shapes can work well for signage and labeling at medium-to-large sizes, and the geometric consistency makes it effective for systems that require a cohesive, modular look.
The overall tone feels engineered and forward-looking, combining a minimal, schematic clarity with a distinctly sci‑fi interface flavor. Its wide stance and rounded-rect geometry suggest screens, dashboards, and product UI rather than traditional editorial typography.
The design appears intended to translate a rounded-rect, device-like geometry into a readable sans, emphasizing consistency and a sleek, modern silhouette. It prioritizes a futuristic, system-driven aesthetic with clear letterforms and a restrained, minimal construction.
Rhythm is smooth and consistent across the set, with uniform stroke endings and a deliberate balance between straight segments and softened corners. The design’s signature is the repeated rounded-rectangle motif, which creates strong family coherence from capitals through numerals and punctuation-like forms such as the open, squared counters.
