A very thin, monoline sans built from rounded-rectangle and superellipse-like curves paired with crisp straight segments. Corners are consistently softened, counters are open and spacious, and curves terminate with smooth, squared-off ends rather than calligraphic modulation. Proportions feel horizontally generous with a steady, even rhythm; verticals are clean and parallel, while diagonals (A, V, W, X, Y) are sharp and controlled. Numerals echo the same rounded geometry, with simplified, outline-like forms and minimal detailing.
Best suited to large-size applications where its fine stroke and rounded-rect geometry can read clearly—headlines, logotypes, packaging titling, posters, and interface labels. It can also work for short, airy text blocks in high-contrast layouts, where the light stroke contributes to a refined, minimal aesthetic.
The overall tone is sleek and contemporary, with a light, almost schematic presence. Its rounded geometry keeps it friendly, while the precision and restraint read as modern, tech-adjacent, and quietly futuristic.
The design appears intended to translate a superelliptic, rounded-rectangle system into a coherent alphabet with consistent corner radii and uniform stroke behavior. The goal seems to be a modern, streamlined voice that feels engineered and clean while remaining approachable through softened geometry.
Several glyphs use distinctive geometric constructions (notably the squared, rounded C/O/Q family and the single-storey, rounded lowercase forms), giving the design a strong system feel. The very thin strokes and generous internal space emphasize elegance and clarity, but also make the face feel delicate in small sizes or low-contrast situations.
