This is a geometric monoline sans built from rounded-rectangle/superellipse forms. Corners are consistently softened, curves are squarish rather than circular, and terminals typically end in clean horizontal or vertical cuts, giving the outlines a modular, engineered rhythm. Capitals are broad with generous internal counters (notably in O, D, Q), while diagonals (V, W, X) stay crisp and straight against the otherwise rounded system. Lowercase follows the same construction, with single-storey a and g and simple, open shapes that keep the texture even at small sizes.
It suits interface typography, product labels, and dashboard readouts where a clean, modern texture and consistent stroke behavior are desirable. The distinctive squared-round shapes also make it effective for tech branding, futuristic headlines, and signage-style applications where letterforms can be recognized quickly at a glance.
The overall tone feels contemporary and tech-oriented, with a calm, controlled cadence. Its rounded geometry softens the voice, but the squared curves and precise joins still read as digital and instrument-like rather than friendly or handwritten.
The design appears intended to merge geometric precision with approachable rounding, creating a modern sans that feels engineered yet not harsh. By standardizing corners and using superelliptical counters, it aims for a cohesive, systematized look that performs well in contemporary digital and display contexts.
Distinctive details include a rectangular/superelliptical zero, a very linear, segmented-feeling 2 and 3, and a squared 8 that echoes the O’s construction. The uppercase G is simplified and open, reinforcing the clean, signage-like clarity. Spacing in the sample text appears comfortably open, supporting an airy, modern paragraph color.
