A slanted, monoline sans with a superelliptic construction: curves are pulled toward rounded-rectangle shapes, producing squarish counters and softly radiused corners. Strokes stay even with minimal contrast, and terminals are clean and mostly horizontal or vertical, reinforcing a engineered feel. The uppercase is compact and disciplined, while the lowercase keeps simple, single-story forms and open apertures; overall spacing reads slightly tight but controlled, with a consistent rhythm across letters and figures.
This face suits UI and product contexts where a clean italic can add motion without adding ornament—navigation labels, dashboards, device interfaces, and technical marketing. Its uniform stroke and squared-round shapes also work well for headlines, signage, and packaging where a modern, engineered voice is desired.
The tone is contemporary and technical, with a subtle retro-futurist edge created by the rounded-square geometry and italic forward lean. It feels efficient and purposeful rather than expressive, suggesting speed, interface design, and industrial clarity.
The design appears intended to merge sans-serif simplicity with superelliptic geometry, creating a distinctive ‘squircle’ signature that remains practical in everyday typography. The italic slant adds momentum, positioning the font for contemporary, tech-forward communication while preserving a stable, systematic structure.
Round letters like O/Q show a distinctly squircle silhouette, and several glyphs emphasize straight-sided curves over fully circular bowls. The numerals are similarly squared-off and sturdy, maintaining the same corner radius and slant for a cohesive texture in mixed alphanumeric settings.
