A monoline sans built from superelliptic geometry: strokes stay even while corners are consistently rounded into squared-off curves. Round letters like O/Q and bowls in B/D/P/R read as rounded rectangles, paired with mostly straight-sided verticals and crisp diagonals. Terminals are clean and flat, with a slightly engineered feel; joins are smooth and controlled, and counters are open. The lowercase uses single-storey a and g, a tall, simple t, and compact, rounded punctuation-like details (dots on i/j), reinforcing a cohesive, systematic construction across letters and figures.
Well suited to interfaces, product labeling, and dashboard/wayfinding contexts where clear shapes and consistent stroke weight help maintain legibility. Its rounded-square forms also work effectively in contemporary branding systems that want a technical look without feeling harsh, and it holds up in short headlines and compact informational text.
The overall tone is modern and practical, with a tech-forward, UI-friendly polish. Rounded corners soften the geometry, keeping it approachable while still feeling precise and industrial. It suggests clarity and neutrality rather than expressiveness, aiming for dependable readability with a contemporary edge.
The design appears intended to translate superellipse-based shapes into a versatile everyday sans, balancing a systematic, engineered construction with softened corners for comfort. It prioritizes clean repetition of forms across caps, lowercase, and numerals to create a cohesive, modern typographic voice.
Capitals are broad and stable with squarish internal spaces, and the numerals follow the same rounded-rectangle logic—especially visible in 0, 6, 8, and 9. Diagonals in A/V/W/X/Y/Z stay sharp and straight, providing contrast against the rounded bowls and helping maintain a crisp rhythm in text.
