A geometric sans built from rounded-rectangle and superellipse forms, with consistent monoline strokes and softly radiused corners. Curves resolve into squared-off terminals, creating a clear, modular rhythm across caps, lowercase, and numerals. Counters are generally open and spacious, with rounded bowls in letters like O, Q, and e, while diagonals in A, V, W, X, and Y stay straight and taut for a crisp silhouette. Lowercase shows simple, single-storey constructions (notably a and g) and short, controlled extenders, reinforcing a compact, engineered feel.
This design suits interface typography, product labeling, and signage where clarity at small-to-medium sizes and a consistent geometric rhythm are important. It also works well for tech branding, system diagrams, and packaging that benefits from a clean, rounded-rect aesthetic.
The overall tone is contemporary and calm, reading as efficient and slightly futuristic without becoming cold. Rounded corners and generous inner space add approachability, while the boxy geometry keeps it disciplined and system-like.
The font appears intended to translate rounded-rectangle geometry into a practical, readable sans for contemporary digital and industrial contexts. Its controlled curves, uniform stroke behavior, and modular construction suggest an emphasis on consistency, legibility, and a modern “designed-system” voice.
Distinctive rounded-rect counters and corners give the face a strong UI/industrial signature, especially in O/0 and in the squared curves of B, D, P, and R. Numerals follow the same superelliptic logic, with a notably rounded 3 and an oval 0 that stays clearly differentiated from letterforms through context and proportion.
