A rounded, oblique sans with monoline strokes and superellipse-like curves that read as rounded-rectangle geometry. Terminals are consistently softened, and corners are generously radiused, giving counters a squarish-yet-round feel. The letterforms lean forward with a steady slant and maintain an even, gridlike rhythm; proportions are compact with clean, open apertures and simplified joins that favor smooth continuity over sharp angles. Numerals and capitals follow the same rounded-square logic, with sturdy shapes and clear spacing that keeps silhouettes distinct.
It suits interfaces and dashboards where an approachable, rounded voice is desired, as well as packaging and branding that benefits from a soft geometric identity. The lively slant and consistent rhythm also make it effective for posters, headings, and short captions where a friendly retro-tech impression is useful.
The overall tone is friendly and informal while still feeling orderly and engineered. Its rounded-square construction adds a mild retro-tech flavor, suggesting playful utility rather than corporate neutrality. The forward slant brings motion and energy, making text feel lively without becoming overly expressive.
The design appears intended to blend utilitarian clarity with a softened geometric character. By pairing a consistent forward slant with rounded-rectangle forms and simple, low-detail construction, it aims to be readable and distinctive while maintaining a cohesive, system-like texture.
Several glyphs show intentionally simplified, almost sign-painter-like constructions (notably in diagonals and bowls), reinforcing a handcrafted-but-systematic aesthetic. The combination of soft corners and consistent stroke thickness helps it hold up in continuous reading and gives it a distinctive “softened terminal” texture across lines.
