A monoline sans with hairline strokes and generous interior space. The design is built from straight stems and rounded-rectangle curves, producing superelliptical bowls in letters like O, C, D, and Q. Corners are consistently softened, terminals are crisp and unbracketed, and horizontals remain thin and even. Proportions are compact with tight sidebearings in many glyphs, while widths vary noticeably between narrow forms (I, J, l) and broader rounded letters. Numerals follow the same rounded-rectangle logic, with an open, simplified construction and minimal detailing.
Best suited to display roles where its hairline construction can be appreciated: UI/UX headings, tech and product branding, titling, and large-format graphics. It can also work for short editorial pull quotes or packaging accents when printed or rendered at sizes that preserve the thin strokes and rounded details.
The overall tone is quiet, modern, and engineered—more instrument-panel than editorial. Its extreme delicacy and rounded geometry evoke a sci‑fi interface feel while staying restrained and orderly. The consistent curvature and even rhythm lend a calm, minimalist impression.
The design appears intended to merge geometric rigor with soft, superelliptical rounding, creating a sleek, contemporary voice. By keeping strokes uniform and details minimal, it prioritizes a clean, system-like aesthetic that reads as modern and technical.
Several glyphs emphasize geometric construction over calligraphic cues: the single-storey a and g, the squared-off curves in S and 2, and the rounded, rectangular counters throughout. The light stroke and tight apertures in places suggest it will need sufficient size or contrast in use to maintain clarity, especially in dense settings.
