A narrow-stroke, monoline sans with softly rounded terminals and superellipse-like bowls. Letterforms lean slightly, with a consistent forward rhythm and generous internal space. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle geometry rather than perfect circles, giving counters a squarish softness (notably in O/Q and the lowercase rounds). Proportions feel expansive side-to-side, with a notably tall lowercase relative to capitals and simple, unembellished construction across the set.
Well suited to interface text, dashboards, and settings screens where even spacing and clear counters help scanning. It can also work for technical documentation, code or terminal-style presentations, and compact captions where a light, unobtrusive texture is desired. In branding or posters, it reads best at medium-to-large sizes to showcase the rounded geometry without losing stroke presence.
The overall tone is light and approachable while still reading as systematic and utilitarian. Its rounded geometry adds warmth, but the strict regularity and restrained shapes keep it feeling modern and technical—evoking instrumentation, UI labeling, and contemporary retro-futurist minimalism.
The design appears intended to combine a systematic, grid-friendly construction with softened, rounded forms for a more approachable feel. The slight slant adds momentum and a contemporary character while maintaining a clean, utilitarian structure for text-heavy use.
Spacing appears highly regular, reinforcing an engineered, grid-like texture in paragraphs. Numerals and punctuation follow the same rounded, monoline logic, and the italics-like slant is subtle enough to preserve clarity while adding motion.
