A monoline sans with a superelliptical construction: curves resolve into rounded-rectangle shapes and corners are consistently softened rather than fully circular. Strokes keep an even thickness with minimal modulation, and terminals are largely blunt or gently radiused, producing a crisp, engineered silhouette. Proportions lean contemporary with a tall x-height and compact ascenders/descenders, while counters stay open and squarish, helping legibility at text sizes. Uppercase forms feel steady and architectural, with rounded bowls and straight-sided verticals; numerals and lowercase follow the same rounded-corner logic for a cohesive set.
Well-suited to interface typography, dashboards, and product labeling where clarity and a modern, engineered look are desired. The tall x-height and open counters also make it a strong option for wayfinding and general-purpose branding systems that need a clean, rounded-geometric voice.
The overall tone is modern and pragmatic, with a mild friendliness coming from the softened corners. It reads as systematic and UI-oriented rather than expressive, giving a straightforward, utilitarian voice that still feels approachable.
The design appears intended to deliver a crisp, contemporary sans that balances technical precision with softened geometry. By basing forms on rounded-rectangle curves and keeping strokes uniform, it aims for consistent rendering and a cohesive, system-friendly appearance across letters and numbers.
Round characters like O, Q, and 0 show a distinct rounded-rectangle contour, and letters with bowls (B, D, P, R, b, p) emphasize squarer counters. The lowercase a is single-storey, reinforcing a contemporary, screen-centric feel. Spacing appears even and the rhythm is stable, supporting continuous reading in the sample text.
