A compact monoline sans with a rounded-rectangle (superellipse) construction. Strokes stay even throughout, with soft corner radii and gently squared curves that give letters a “squircle” silhouette rather than purely circular rounds. Proportions are narrow with tight internal spacing, and the rhythm is consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals. Key forms show simplified geometry—single-storey lowercase a and g, a straight-sided m/n with rounded shoulders, and squared bowls in letters like D, O, P, and R—while terminals are generally blunt and softly rounded.
This font suits UI labels, dashboards, and product interfaces where a compact, contemporary voice is desired. It also works well for signage, packaging systems, and editorial headlines that benefit from a clean geometric look with softened corners. In longer text, it’s best used for short blocks, captions, or callouts where its distinctive squarish rounds remain crisp and legible.
The overall tone feels modern and tech-adjacent, with a subtle retro-futurist flavor reminiscent of display typography used in interfaces and industrial labeling. Rounded corners keep it approachable and friendly, while the disciplined geometry reads clean and engineered. It strikes a balance between utilitarian clarity and a distinctive, stylized personality.
The design appears intended to translate a superellipse/rounded-rectangle geometry into a practical sans with consistent stroke weight and compact widths. It aims for a streamlined, system-like aesthetic while staying approachable through softened corners and open, simplified letterforms.
The caps are tall and streamlined with open, simplified joins (notably in A and K), and several letters emphasize squared counters (B, P, R) for a consistent modular feel. Numerals follow the same squircle logic, with clear differentiation between similar shapes and a compact footprint that supports dense settings.
