A monolinear sans with a strong superelliptic construction: rounded-rectangle bowls, softly squared curves, and long straight stems. Proportions are tall and compressed, with a high x-height and generous vertical reach in ascenders/descenders, creating an airy, columnar rhythm. Terminals are clean and mostly flat, while curves resolve into smooth, even-radius corners rather than circles. Counters stay relatively open for such a condensed design, and the overall spacing reads measured and deliberate, giving lines a tidy, engineered cadence.
Best suited to display settings where its slim, tall proportions can create a stylish vertical rhythm—headlines, editorial titles, packaging, and brand wordmarks. It also works for UI or product labeling at larger sizes where the light stroke and tight width read as clean and premium rather than delicate.
The tone is cool and contemporary, balancing elegance with a technical, modernist feel. Its narrow silhouette and rounded-rect geometry suggest a futuristic, design-forward voice—more gallery and product than casual or playful.
Likely designed to deliver a distinctive, geometry-driven sans that feels modern and streamlined, using superelliptic curves to stand apart from purely circular geometrics while maintaining a minimal, systematic construction.
Distinctive superellipse forms show up strongly in rounded letters like O/C/D and in the squared softness of bowls and shoulders. Several glyphs lean on simplified geometry (e.g., single-story a, compact e), and the numerals echo the same rounded-rectangle logic, reinforcing a cohesive, system-like appearance.
