A monoline sans with rounded corners and a gently squared, geometric construction. Curves are smooth and often drawn as broad arcs, while straight strokes keep a consistent thickness and end in softened terminals. Several forms show a modular, engineered logic—seen in the simplified bowls, open apertures, and the way diagonals and curves meet with minimal contrast. Overall proportions feel even and controlled, with clear counters and a steady rhythm that stays legible while retaining a distinctive, slightly unconventional skeleton in a few letters.
Well-suited to technology-oriented branding, product identities, and interface labeling where a clean, engineered look is desired. Its distinctive geometry also works effectively for headlines, posters, and packaging that benefit from a futuristic or retro-tech voice. For longer passages, it will read best with ample size and spacing, where the rounded forms and unconventional details can stay clear.
The tone reads modern and technical, with a subtle sci‑fi and retro-digital flavor. Rounded corners and generous curves keep it approachable, balancing the more engineered, schematic feel of the letter construction. It can suggest technology, systems, or product design without looking cold or overly sterile.
The design appears intended to blend geometric clarity with softened corners for a contemporary, device-friendly aesthetic. Its atypical construction choices suggest a goal of standing apart from neutral grotesks while remaining clean, consistent, and broadly usable in modern graphic systems.
Uppercase shapes lean toward squared rounds (e.g., rounded-rectangle bowls), while the lowercase introduces a more contemporary, simplified loop structure in letters like a, g, and y. Numerals follow the same rounded, geometric logic, keeping a cohesive texture across mixed text. The overall fit appears comfortable for display and short text, with distinctive silhouettes that may become more pronounced at larger sizes.
