A monoline sans with narrow proportions and generous internal spacing, built from rounded-rectangle geometry in bowls and counters. Curves resolve into softly squared terminals, while vertical strokes stay straight and even, producing a calm, consistent rhythm. Uppercase forms are simple and schematic, and the lowercase keeps a straightforward construction with a single-storey “g” and compact joins. Numerals follow the same rounded, pared-back logic, remaining clear and evenly weighted.
Well suited to interface text, navigation, and labeling where a compact footprint and clean letterforms help conserve space. It also works for captions, diagrams, and data-forward layouts thanks to its even stroke color and open counters. At larger sizes, the superelliptical rounding can add a refined, contemporary texture to headings and minimalist poster typography.
The overall tone is neutral and contemporary, with a lightly engineered feel. Rounded corners soften the voice, keeping it approachable while still reading as precise and controlled. It conveys clarity and restraint rather than personality-driven expressiveness.
The design appears intended to provide a space-efficient, modern sans that stays unobtrusive in layouts while maintaining a distinctive rounded-rectangle geometry. Its consistent stroke behavior and simplified constructions suggest a focus on clarity, system-friendly styling, and dependable typographic texture across mixed-case text and numerals.
Round letters like C, O, and Q emphasize superelliptical bowls, giving a subtly squared curvature that distinguishes it from purely circular geometrics. The design avoids flamboyant details, relying on consistent stroke endings and tidy counters for legibility and uniform texture.
