A compact, monoline sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softly squared curves. Strokes are even and clean, with minimal modulation and crisp terminals that keep the overall texture steady. Round letters such as C, G, O, and Q read as superelliptical forms—more squared than geometric circles—while counters remain open and legible. Uppercase proportions feel tall and tidy, and the lowercase keeps a straightforward, workmanlike skeleton with simple bowls and shoulders. Numerals are clear and contemporary, with an oval 0 and a compact 3 and 5 that match the font’s tight rhythm.
This font suits interface text, dashboards, and product UI where compact proportions and steady rhythm help conserve space while staying readable. It also works well for contemporary editorial layouts, captions, and wayfinding/signage that benefit from clean geometry and strong consistency across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals.
The tone is modern and matter-of-fact, with a slightly technical flavor coming from the squared-round geometry. It feels restrained and utilitarian rather than expressive, aiming for clarity and consistency in continuous text and interface-style labeling.
The design appears intended to provide a practical, contemporary sans with superelliptical round forms—balancing friendliness from rounded corners with the precision of squared geometry. It prioritizes a disciplined texture, straightforward lettershapes, and reliable readability in everyday typographic settings.
Letterforms show a consistent rounding logic across corners, producing a cohesive, engineered look. Spacing appears measured and economical, creating a dense but orderly line that holds up well in multi-line setting.
