A compact, monoline sans with a rounded-rectangle (superellipse) construction and consistently softened corners. Curves tend to resolve into verticals with smooth, squared-off terminals, giving bowls and counters a tall, pill-like geometry. Strokes remain even and steady, with open apertures and simple, schematic joins; lowercase forms are plain and efficient, while several capitals echo the same modular, rounded-arch structure. Numerals follow the same compact rhythm, with a clear, single-storey-style simplicity across forms and a generally restrained, utilitarian spacing.
Well-suited to interface labels, dashboards, and wayfinding where a clean, compact sans is helpful, and to branding or packaging that benefits from a contemporary, softly technical feel. It also works effectively for short headlines and product naming where the distinctive rounded-rectangle structure can carry the visual identity without decorative flourishes.
The overall tone feels modern and engineered, balancing friendliness from the rounded corners with a slightly retro, transit-sign or instrument-panel sensibility. Its compact proportions and uniform stroke logic read as orderly and composed, with an understated personality that still feels distinctive due to its superelliptical geometry.
The font appears designed to combine functional legibility with a recognizable geometric voice, using rounded-rectangle shapes to create a cohesive, modular system. The aim seems to be a neutral, modern sans that feels approachable and slightly futuristic while staying straightforward for practical settings.
The design leans on a consistent vertical rhythm and repeated rounded-arch motifs, which helps it stay cohesive across uppercase, lowercase, and figures. The squared curvature and smooth terminals give it a “soft tech” character that remains clear at display sizes.
