A geometric sans with extended proportions and a monolinear stroke. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle/superellipse shapes, giving bowls and counters a squared-off softness rather than pure circles. Terminals are consistently rounded, corners are smoothly radiused, and joins stay crisp, producing a controlled, engineered rhythm. Uppercase forms are broad and stable, while lowercase uses simple, open constructions with single-storey shapes and compact apertures; figures follow the same rounded-rect geometry for a cohesive texture.
Well-suited to user interfaces, dashboards, and product environments where clarity and a modern, engineered aesthetic are desired. The broad letterforms and clean shapes also work effectively for headlines, short blocks of display text, labeling, and wayfinding-style applications.
The overall tone is modern and technical, with a friendly edge created by the softened corners. Its squared curves and even stroke lend a product-UI, device-label feel—precise, orderly, and contemporary rather than expressive or calligraphic.
The font appears designed to deliver a contemporary geometric voice built from superellipse-like forms, balancing strict construction with approachable rounded details. Its consistent curves and sturdy proportions suggest an intention to look modern, technical, and highly systematic in everyday design contexts.
The design shows strong internal consistency across letters and numerals, especially in repeated rounded-rect counters (e.g., O/Q/0/8) and the flattened curvature of bowls and shoulders. The wide set and steady spacing create a calm, readable line in sample text, with a slightly mechanical personality that suits structured layouts.
