A monoline sans built from clean, rectilinear strokes softened by superelliptical curves. Corners and terminals are gently rounded, giving round letters (C, O, G) a rounded-rectangle silhouette rather than a perfect circle. Vertical emphasis is strong, with simple constructions, generous apertures, and consistent stroke weight throughout; diagonals (A, V, W, X) stay crisp and straight. Numerals follow the same restrained geometry, with smooth, rounded bowls and minimal detailing.
Well suited to contemporary editorial layouts, brand identities, and display-led applications where a light, refined voice is desired. It can also work for UI labeling, navigation, and product/packaging typography when set at comfortable sizes with adequate spacing to preserve its delicate strokes.
The overall tone is quiet and precise—more architectural than expressive. Its thin, controlled line and softened geometry convey a modern, understated sophistication that reads as clean, premium, and slightly futuristic.
The font appears designed to deliver a minimal, modern sans with a distinctive superelliptical skeleton—combining strict geometry with softened corners for a sleek, approachable finish.
The design keeps details to a minimum, relying on proportion and curvature for character. The superelliptical rounding is especially evident in O/0 and the bowls of letters like D, P, and e, creating a consistent, softly squared rhythm across text.
