A geometric sans built from rounded-rectangle and superellipse construction, with consistent monoline strokes and softly radiused corners throughout. Curves tend to square off into gentle flats, giving bowls and counters a rectilinear, modular feel (notably in O/0, D, P, and lowercase o). Terminals are clean and uniform, joins are controlled and smooth, and the overall rhythm is airy due to generous sidebearings and open counters. Forms like the single-storey a and g, the simple t with a short crossbar, and the uncluttered numerals reinforce a streamlined, contemporary skeleton.
Performs well in interface typography, dashboards, and wayfinding where a crisp, modern voice is needed. It also suits tech-forward brand systems, product marks, and short-to-medium headlines, especially where rounded geometry can echo industrial design and hardware contours. In longer text, it works best at comfortable sizes with ample spacing to preserve its open, airy rhythm.
The tone reads modern and system-like, balancing friendliness from the rounded geometry with a precise, engineered character. It suggests digital interfaces, product design, and forward-looking branding—calm, neutral, and slightly sci‑fi without becoming playful or decorative.
The design appears intended to translate superelliptic, rounded-rectangle shapes into a cohesive sans alphabet—prioritizing consistency, clarity, and a contemporary, digital-friendly aesthetic. Its restrained detailing and uniform stroke behavior suggest a goal of neutrality and versatility while maintaining a distinctive geometric signature.
Distinctive squared-round geometry is especially evident in the squared bowls of 0/8/9 and the rounded-rect capitals. Diacritics in the sample appear as compact, square-like dots, aligning with the font’s modular construction. The overall impression stays consistent from caps to lowercase, with minimal contrast and a steady, measured cadence.
