This typeface is a monoline geometric sans built from straight segments and broad, rounded-corner curves that often feel like softened rectangles. Rounds (O, C, G, 0) are superellipse-like with flat-ish sides and smooth terminals, while joins are crisp and largely unmodulated. Proportions are horizontally expanded, with generous internal space and open apertures that keep forms airy. Many lowercase shapes simplify to single-storey constructions (a, g) and use restrained, horizontal stroke endings that reinforce a clean, engineered rhythm.
It performs best in display and interface contexts where its wide stance and geometric clarity can be appreciated—product branding, tech or industrial identities, UI labels, and large-format headlines. In short passages it maintains a clean texture, while at larger sizes its distinctive superellipse rounds and minimal terminals become a strong visual signature.
The overall tone is sleek and restrained, leaning toward a futuristic, tech-forward look with a subtle retro-digital flavor. Its calm, even stroke and rounded geometry read as modern and methodical rather than expressive or humanist, making it feel precise and intentionally designed.
The design appears intended to translate rounded-rectangle geometry into a legible, contemporary sans with a consistent, system-like rhythm. It prioritizes clarity and a cohesive shape language over calligraphic nuance, aiming for a modern, engineered voice suitable for digital and forward-looking applications.
Distinctive details include a squared, rounded-shoulder arch in m/n, a compact crossbar on t, and numeral forms that echo the same rounded-rectangle logic (notably 2 and 3 with long horizontal terminals). The Q features a small, minimal tail that stays close to the bowl, and the e is drawn with a clean horizontal bar and wide, open counter.
