A geometric sans with extended proportions and a consistent, even stroke weight throughout. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle (superelliptic) geometry, giving bowls and counters a squared-off softness rather than purely circular forms. Terminals are clean and mostly flat, with gentle corner radiusing; joins are crisp and controlled, producing a smooth, engineered rhythm in both uppercase and lowercase. The lowercase shows simple, modern constructions with open apertures and straightforward ascenders/descenders, while figures follow the same rounded-rectilinear logic for a cohesive texture in running text.
Works well for interface typography, signage, and product labeling where a clean, contemporary voice is needed. The extended proportions and open shapes also suit short headlines, brand marks, and numeric-heavy contexts like dashboards, packaging specs, or informational graphics.
The overall tone is modern and composed, with a subtle techno character driven by its superelliptic curves and roomy, extended stance. It feels precise and contemporary rather than expressive or calligraphic, projecting clarity and restraint.
Designed to deliver a neutral, contemporary sans built from superelliptic geometry, pairing a soft-cornered silhouette with precise construction. The intention appears to be a distinctive yet highly usable texture for modern screens and systems where clarity and consistency matter.
The widened letterforms create a relaxed horizontal flow, and the rounded-square bowls keep shapes legible while maintaining a distinctive, device-like silhouette. Diagonals (e.g., in V/W/X) appear clean and disciplined, balancing the softer curves with sharper geometry.
