A monoline sans with softened, squared-off curves that favor rounded-rectangle geometry over true circles. Strokes are even and low in contrast, with smooth joins and consistently rounded corners that give counters a superelliptical feel. Proportions read slightly expansive, and the set maintains a steady rhythm in text, balancing compact internal spaces with open apertures for clarity. Figures and capitals follow the same rounded-square construction, creating a cohesive, systematically drawn texture.
Well-suited to interface typography and product environments where a clean, contemporary voice is needed, such as dashboards, mobile apps, and tech brand systems. The steady stroke weight and open forms also make it a solid choice for signage and wayfinding, while the distinctive squared rounding can add character to packaging and short display lines.
The overall tone is contemporary and mildly technical, with a friendly edge from the rounded corners. It feels precise and engineered rather than expressive, projecting calm, straightforward communication. The squared curves add a subtle “UI” character that reads modern without becoming playful.
The design appears intended to blend straightforward sans-serif utility with a recognizable superelliptical construction. By standardizing rounded corners and keeping contrast minimal, it aims for dependable legibility in practical settings while offering a modern, system-like aesthetic for branding.
Distinctive rounded-rectangle bowls and counters are especially evident across curves and closed forms, giving the type a recognizable silhouette. The design stays restrained—no flares or calligraphic gestures—so it holds together well in continuous reading while still offering a branded, geometric personality.
