A monoline sans built from rounded-rectangle curves and straight segments, combining soft superelliptic bowls with crisp, flat terminals. The drawing is extremely light and spacious, with generous inner counters, wide letterforms, and a calm horizontal rhythm. Curves on C, G, O, and S read as softly squared arcs rather than true circles, while many joins resolve into clean right angles. The overall texture is even and delicate, with consistent stroke weight and minimal modulation.
Best suited to display typography where its hairline strokes and rounded-rect geometry can remain crisp—headlines, logotypes, product marks, posters, and interface titling. It can also work for short UI labels and navigation in spacious layouts, especially where a sleek, contemporary tone is desired.
The tone feels modern and tech-forward, with a restrained, architectural coolness. Rounded-square geometry gives it a friendly softness while the hairline weight keeps it refined and understated. The result suggests futuristic interfaces, contemporary product branding, and minimalist editorial styling.
The design appears intended to translate a consistent rounded-rectangle geometry into a clean, modern sans voice—prioritizing clarity of silhouette, smooth corners, and a light, high-tech elegance over traditional text robustness.
Distinctive superelliptic rounding appears across both letters and numerals, giving the design a cohesive ‘rounded-corner’ system. Several forms lean on open, simplified construction (notably the single-storey lowercase shapes and the clean, linear diagonals in V/W/X/Y), which reinforces a schematic, engineered feel. Its very thin strokes and wide proportions make it most convincing at larger sizes where the geometry can be appreciated.
