A monolinear sans with a superellipse construction: curves resolve into rounded-rectangle shapes, and corners are consistently softened rather than fully circular. Proportions are compact and orderly, with generous apertures and clear counterforms that keep letters open at text sizes. Strokes terminate in clean, squared ends, and the overall rhythm is steady, mixing straight verticals with rounded shoulders in a highly regular, engineered way. Numerals and capitals follow the same squared-round logic, producing a cohesive, system-like texture in lines of copy.
Well-suited for interface typography, dashboards, and product UI where clean shapes and consistent geometry support quick scanning. It also fits technology-forward branding, wayfinding, and modern editorial layouts that want a crisp, engineered voice without becoming overly stylized.
The overall tone is contemporary and pragmatic, with a subtle sci‑fi/industrial flavor driven by the squared curves and disciplined geometry. It reads as efficient and technical rather than expressive, projecting clarity, neutrality, and precision.
The design appears intended to deliver a neutral, contemporary sans whose identity comes from superelliptic geometry—balancing friendliness from rounded corners with the precision of squared structure. The goal reads as dependable legibility with a distinctive, system-ready silhouette.
Distinctive superelliptic rounding is visible across bowls and corners (e.g., in forms like O, D, and the lowercase a), giving the face a recognizable ‘soft-rectangular’ signature. The uppercase set feels slightly condensed and architectural, while lowercase shapes stay straightforward and legible with minimal idiosyncrasy.
