A highly geometric sans with a consistent monoline stroke and an overall right-leaning posture. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle and superellipse-like shapes, giving bowls and counters a softly squared feel (notably in O, C, e, and 0). Terminals are clean and mostly open, with restrained joins and generous internal space. Proportions run wide with ample sidebearings, creating an open rhythm; lowercase forms maintain a moderate x-height and simple, single-storey constructions where applicable. Numerals follow the same rounded-rect geometry, with smooth, continuous outlines and minimal detailing.
Best suited to interface typography, product branding, and display settings where a sleek, contemporary voice is needed. The wide stance and open spacing make it effective for short headlines, navigational labels, and large-format applications like posters or signage, especially in technology and design-forward contexts.
The tone is modern and quietly futuristic, balancing precision with friendly softness from its rounded corners. Its light, airy presence reads clean and efficient, with a subtle sci‑fi interface flavor rather than expressive personality. Overall it feels contemporary, calm, and technology-adjacent.
The design appears intended to deliver a streamlined, modern sans that feels engineered and precise while avoiding harshness through rounded-rectangle curves. It prioritizes clean rhythm, spaciousness, and a cohesive geometric system across letters and numerals for contemporary digital and brand use.
The superelliptical construction produces a distinctive “soft box” silhouette in round letters and digits, while diagonals (A, K, V, W, X, Y) stay crisp and understated. The italic slant is gentle and consistent, supporting motion without becoming cursive.
