A thin, monoline sans built from rounded-rectangle geometry, with corners and terminals consistently softened into superelliptical curves. Curves resolve into long flats on letters like C, G, and S, giving the alphabet a controlled, squared-round rhythm rather than purely circular bowls. Proportions are generous and horizontally extended, with open counters, short crossbars, and simplified constructions that keep the texture light and even. Numerals follow the same rounded-rect logic, with a notably open, linear feel and restrained stroke modulation.
Best suited to large-size typography where its thin strokes and rounded-square geometry can be appreciated—headlines, logotypes, product branding, and editorial titling. It can also work for UI labels and interface accents when rendered at comfortable sizes with sufficient contrast, where the open counters and steady rhythm support quick scanning.
The overall tone feels modern and engineered—cool, minimal, and slightly futuristic. Its rounded-square shapes read as friendly enough for contemporary branding, while the precision and restraint suggest UI and product design contexts. The light color and open spacing create an airy, calm voice rather than an emphatic one.
The design appears intended to translate the logic of rounded rectangles into a coherent, contemporary sans: precise, minimal, and visually consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals. Its emphasis on clean terminals, open forms, and squared-round curves suggests a focus on modern digital aesthetics and a distinctive geometric signature without decorative flourishes.
Distinctive details include a superelliptical ‘O’/zero family, a flat-ended ‘C’ and ‘G’ with squared-off curvature, and a single-storey ‘a’ with a straight right stem. The lowercase ‘g’ appears single-storey with an open form, reinforcing the simplified, geometric approach. The sample text shows clear word shapes and consistent stroke endings, with a delicate presence that benefits from ample size and contrast.
