A monoline sans built from rounded-rectangle geometry, with corners and terminals consistently softened into superellipse-like curves. Strokes are heavy and even, with roomy internal counters and a generally compact, squared-off silhouette in letters like C, D, O, and Q. Curves transition with minimal modulation, while joins are clean and stable, giving the design a sturdy, engineered feel. The lowercase is simple and open with a high x-height impression, short extenders, and straightforward forms; numerals follow the same rounded-square logic for a cohesive set.
Well-suited for headlines, brand marks, and display settings where a sturdy, geometric voice is needed. It also works effectively for signage, wayfinding, interfaces, and product labeling, where the rounded-square construction stays clear at medium sizes and holds up in high-contrast applications.
The overall tone is functional and modern, leaning toward a technical, equipment-label aesthetic rather than a humanist or calligraphic one. Its rounded corners keep it friendly, but the squared curves and dense strokes read as pragmatic and industrial, with a subtle retro-digital flavor.
The font appears designed to deliver a robust, highly consistent geometric look with softened edges—prioritizing clarity, uniformity, and a contemporary industrial character. Its rounded-rectangle construction suggests an intent to evoke technology and systems design while keeping an approachable, non-sharp finish.
The design maintains a consistent corner radius across the alphabet, which creates a uniform rhythm in words and makes repeated verticals (e.g., in H, N, M) feel structured. The uppercase has a strong, poster-like presence, while the lowercase remains clear and compact, supporting short UI strings and labels without feeling delicate.
