A monoline, geometric sans built from rounded-rectangle (superellipse-like) forms with blunt terminals and consistent stroke thickness. Corners are softened rather than sharp, giving curves a squared-off roundness in letters like O, C, and G. Proportions are compact and stable, with straight-sided verticals and horizontals and minimal modulation; counters are open and evenly weighted. The overall rhythm is very regular, and the figures and punctuation echo the same squared-round geometry for a cohesive texture in text.
Well suited to interface typography where consistent spacing and predictable shapes support scanning—such as navigation, settings panels, dashboards, and table-heavy layouts. Its sturdy, geometric forms also work well for technical documentation, product labeling, and compact headlines where a clean, systematic voice is desired.
The tone is pragmatic and contemporary, with a slightly industrial, machine-made feel. Rounded corners soften the otherwise strict geometry, balancing friendliness with a no-nonsense, engineered character. It reads as methodical and dependable rather than expressive or calligraphic.
The design appears intended to deliver a highly consistent, grid-friendly sans with softened geometry—prioritizing clarity, uniformity, and a contemporary technical aesthetic. The rounded-rectangle construction suggests a focus on modern screen and system contexts while maintaining a controlled, disciplined texture in running text.
The squared-round construction is especially evident in bowls and rounded joins, creating a distinctive “rounded box” silhouette across both uppercase and lowercase. Numerals appear clear and robust, matching the letterforms’ compact, structured presence, and the overall texture remains even in longer lines of copy.
