A monoline sans built from rectilinear strokes softened by rounded-rectangle (superellipse) bowls. Curves resolve into smooth, squarish counters in letters like O, C, D, and Q, while straight segments stay crisp with clean terminals. Diagonals are thin and precise in A, K, V, W, X, and Y, and the overall spacing feels open, producing a light, airy color in text. The lowercase keeps a straightforward construction with minimal modulation, while numerals echo the same squared-round geometry for consistent rhythm.
Best suited to branding systems, editorial headlines, posters, and interface titling where its delicate strokes and squarish-rounded geometry can be appreciated. It can also work for signage and wayfinding in controlled conditions, especially where a clean, contemporary voice is desired.
The tone is modern and tech-forward, with a calm, understated neutrality. Its thin, spacious forms read as sleek and refined, suggesting digital interfaces, contemporary architecture, and light industrial design rather than warmth or hand-made character.
The design appears intended to translate geometric, rounded-rectangular construction into a highly simplified sans for modern visual systems. By keeping strokes uniform and details spare, it prioritizes a crisp, futuristic silhouette and a consistent superellipse-based logic across the character set.
Round forms tend toward rounded rectangles rather than pure circles, giving the design a distinctive squircle signature that carries through caps, lowercase, and figures. The sample text shows a measured, even cadence where the generous internal space and simple joins keep lines feeling uncluttered at display sizes.
