A monoline sans with squared-off curves: bowls and counters are drawn as soft superelliptical rectangles with consistently rounded corners. Strokes stay even throughout, with crisp terminals and a generally open, uncluttered construction that keeps forms legible despite the delicate line weight. Proportions lean horizontally, with broad rounds (O, C, G) and spacious interior counters; joins and curves resolve into gentle radii rather than sharp calligraphic transitions. Numerals follow the same rounded-rectangle logic, producing a coherent, system-like rhythm across letters and figures.
It works well for UI and product typography where a clean, engineered impression is desired, as well as for tech-forward branding, headings, and concise signage. The delicate stroke suggests using it at moderate-to-large sizes or in high-contrast settings where its fine lines stay clear.
The overall tone is modern and quietly futuristic, evoking interface typography, industrial labeling, and contemporary minimal branding. Its restrained geometry feels clinical and precise, while the softened corners keep it approachable rather than harsh.
The font appears designed to translate a superelliptical, rounded-rectangle geometry into a neutral sans suitable for contemporary digital and industrial contexts. It prioritizes consistency of curvature, open counters, and a calm, minimal presence over expressive stroke modulation.
The design’s signature is the rounded-rectangle skeleton: many curves read as controlled radiused corners rather than circular arcs, giving text a distinctive, engineered texture. The light stroke and generous spacing create an airy color on the page, best suited to sizes and contexts where the fine line can remain intact.
