A compact sans with monoline strokes and a distinctly rectilinear construction softened by rounded corners. Curves tend to resolve into superellipse-like bowls and arches, giving letters a squared, modular skeleton while keeping terminals smooth. Counters are generally open and generously sized for the width, and the overall rhythm is even, with consistent stroke joins and minimal modulation. Figures and capitals follow the same rounded-rectangle logic, producing a cohesive, system-like texture in text.
It performs well where a compact, highly legible sans is needed: interface labels, navigation and wayfinding systems, product branding, and concise editorial headlines. The consistent geometry also makes it a good fit for tech-forward identities and packaging that benefits from a clean, structured tone.
The tone is modern and pragmatic, with a friendly edge coming from the softened geometry. Its squared forms read as technical and structured rather than casual, suggesting a contemporary, engineered aesthetic suited to clear communication.
The design appears intended to merge a systematized, geometric build with approachable rounded corners, creating a versatile sans that stays crisp and modern while remaining readable in dense settings.
Distinctive rounded-rectangular bowls and arches show up across key shapes (notably in O/C/D-style forms and the n/m/u family), reinforcing a modular design language. The compact proportions help build a dense, efficient word shape without feeling cramped thanks to the open counters and smooth terminals.
