A monolinear sans built from squared-off curves and rounded-rectangle geometry, with consistently softened corners and largely vertical terminals. Forms favor tall, narrow proportions and compact bowls, creating a tight rhythm in text. Curves resolve into superellipse-like corners rather than true circles, and many counters read as squarish or rectangular. Numerals and lowercase echo the same modular construction, with occasional hooked descenders and flat, engineered joins.
Best suited to short-to-medium text where a technical, constructed look is desired—UI labels, navigation, dashboards, product markings, and signage. It can also work for posters, packaging, and logotypes where a compact footprint and distinctive squared curves help typography feel engineered and modern.
The overall tone feels technical and slightly retro-futuristic, like labeling on instruments, terminals, or sci‑fi interface graphics. Its crisp, constructed shapes give it an industrial, functional voice rather than a warm or literary one.
The design appears intended to translate rounded-rectangle and superellipse construction into a practical sans with a compact silhouette. It prioritizes a consistent modular system and clear, technical forms that evoke contemporary interface and industrial typography.
Uppercase structures stay disciplined and rectilinear, while lowercase introduces a few more idiosyncratic gestures (notably in descenders), adding character without breaking the system. The narrow stance and square counters can make dense copy feel busy, but they help the design read as purposeful and machine-made at display sizes.
