A rounded, geometric sans with monoline strokes and softly squared terminals. Letterforms lean on simple arcs and straight stems, with frequent use of open curves and small gaps that create a segmented, modular feel in places. Counters are generally generous and the overall construction is clean and airy, with a slightly quirky rhythm from occasional asymmetries and simplified joins. In text, the spacing reads open and even, and the forms maintain a consistent, contemporary line quality.
Best suited to headlines, logos, and short brand phrases where its geometric quirks can be a feature. It can work for UI labels and interface accents at comfortable sizes, and it also fits packaging, event graphics, and tech-leaning editorial styling where a clean but characterful sans is needed.
The tone is modern and lightly sci‑fi, with a friendly softness coming from the rounded corners and smooth arcs. The segmented details add a tech-forward, constructed character, while the overall simplicity keeps it approachable rather than harsh or industrial.
The design appears intended to deliver a streamlined, contemporary sans with a constructed, slightly futuristic edge. By combining soft rounding with selective segmentation, it aims to stand apart from neutral grotesques while staying legible and orderly in display settings.
Distinctive cut-ins and open terminals in several glyphs make the design feel engineered and stylized, which can increase personality but also draws attention to individual letter shapes. Numerals follow the same rounded, simplified logic and sit comfortably alongside the letters for display use.
