A compact, monoline sans with tall proportions and a restrained, even rhythm. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle/superellipse logic, giving bowls and counters a gently squared softness rather than purely circular forms. Terminals are clean and mostly straight-cut, with minimal modulation and consistent stroke thickness across the alphabet. Counters stay open and legible, while the overall spacing and sidebearings read tight and efficient, supporting dense setting without feeling cramped.
This font suits interface typography, dashboards, and data-heavy layouts where compact width and steady texture help fit more information per line. It also works well for signage and technical documentation, where clear counters and simplified shapes support quick recognition at small to medium sizes.
The tone is modern and matter-of-fact, with a slightly technical, engineered feel. Its softened geometry keeps it approachable, but the overall impression remains functional and neutral rather than expressive or calligraphic.
The design appears intended to provide a space-efficient, highly consistent sans for practical communication. By combining monoline strokes with softly squared geometric curves, it aims for clarity and neutrality while maintaining a distinctive, modern geometric voice.
Uppercase forms feel tall and compact, and the lowercase follows with similarly economical widths and straightforward construction. Numerals match the same geometric discipline, maintaining consistent stroke weight and rounded-corner geometry for a cohesive texture in mixed alphanumeric text.
