A monoline serif with rounded-rectangle geometry: curves resolve into squared terminals and softened corners, giving bowls and counters a squarish-oval feel. Strokes stay even and clean, with small, crisp serifs and frequent right-angle turns that create a slightly engineered rhythm. Proportions are compact and tidy with open apertures in key lowercase forms, while capitals feel constructed from straight segments and controlled radii. Numerals follow the same soft-rectilinear logic, balancing legibility with a stylized, modular structure.
Well suited to headlines, identity systems, and packaging where a modern-technical voice is needed without going fully sans. It can work for signage and interface accents thanks to its crisp construction and steady rhythm, and it performs especially well in posters and editorial pull quotes where the geometric serif details can be appreciated.
The overall tone is futuristic and technical, like mid-century signage interpreted through a contemporary UI lens. Its softened corners keep it approachable, while the strict geometry and minimal modulation read as precise and slightly experimental. The mix of serif cues with a rounded, constructed skeleton adds a distinctive, quirky sophistication.
The design appears intended to fuse traditional serif signaling with a constructed, rounded-rectilinear skeleton, producing a contemporary display face that feels engineered and forward-looking. It prioritizes consistent stroke behavior and modular geometry to create a distinctive texture across both uppercase and lowercase.
In text, the uniform stroke and squared rounding create strong patterning; spacing feels measured and systematic, which helps maintain clarity despite the unconventional serif-and-geometry blend. The distinctive shapes in a few capitals and the squared bowls make it most recognizable at display sizes, while remaining serviceable for short passages.
