A clean, squared-round sans built on superelliptical curves and straight, orthogonal strokes. Corners tend to resolve with softened radii rather than sharp points, giving round letters like O and Q a rounded-rectangle silhouette. Stroke endings are plain and unbracketed, with consistent, low-variation stroke widths and an overall even color. The lowercase forms are straightforward and geometric, with open counters and compact joins; the numerals are similarly simple and legible with clear differentiation in forms like 1, 0, and 9.
Well-suited to user interfaces, code editors, terminal-style readouts, and any layout that benefits from strict character alignment such as tables, forms, and data dashboards. It also works for concise labeling—packaging panels, technical diagrams, and wayfinding—where clarity and consistent spacing are priorities.
The tone is functional and matter-of-fact, evoking software interfaces, terminals, and contemporary industrial labeling. Its disciplined geometry and steady rhythm read as practical and dependable rather than expressive or calligraphic.
The design appears intended as a pragmatic, screen-forward workhorse with a geometric, squared-round personality—balancing friendliness from softened corners with the precision and regularity expected in technical typography.
The wide set and generous internal space produce clear word shapes at small sizes, while the squared-round construction keeps lines looking orderly in dense settings. Curved letters consistently echo the same superelliptical logic, reinforcing a cohesive, system-like feel across caps, lowercase, and figures.
