A monoline sans with squared-round construction: straight stems meet generously rounded corners, and bowls lean toward superelliptical, rounded-rectangle shapes. Curves are smooth and even, terminals are mostly flat, and the overall drawing keeps a consistent stroke weight with calm spacing and a slightly expanded feel. Uppercase forms are crisp and simple, while lowercase maintains clear, open counters; figures follow the same rounded-rect logic with notably squared-off curves and tidy joints.
Well-suited to UI and product surfaces where a clean, rounded-rect geometry helps create a modern, approachable tech aesthetic. It should also work for signage and wayfinding at larger sizes, and for contemporary branding or packaging that benefits from a sleek, minimal voice.
The tone is contemporary and system-like, with a subtle sci‑fi/industrial flavor driven by its rounded-rect geometry. It feels precise, friendly-neutral, and optimized for clean interfaces rather than expressive editorial texture.
The design appears intended to merge geometric clarity with softened corners, producing a contemporary sans that feels both technical and approachable. Its consistent monoline construction and superelliptical shapes suggest a focus on interface clarity and a cohesive, modern visual system.
Round letters such as C, G, O, Q, and 0 read as soft rectangles rather than true circles, creating a distinctive ‘soft-square’ rhythm. The lowercase shows straightforward construction with uncluttered joins (notably in m/n) and a single-storey a, reinforcing a utilitarian, UI-minded character. Numerals are clear and consistent, with the same squared rounding that keeps them aligned with the letterforms.
