A monoline sans with a distinctly superelliptical construction: bowls and counters read as rounded rectangles with softly squared corners rather than true circles. Strokes stay even and crisp, with straight verticals and horizontals dominating and curves kept taut, producing a compact, engineered rhythm. Proportions are relatively narrow with generous internal space, and terminals are mostly flat, giving letters a tidy, modular feel. Lowercase forms are simple and open, with single‑storey a and g, a tall ascender profile, and squared, rounded-rectangle shapes recurring across O, D, and numerals.
Well-suited for interface typography, product labeling, dashboards, and signage where a clean, structured voice is desired. Its compact proportions and firm geometry also make it effective for headlines, logotypes, and contemporary branding systems that lean on modular forms.
The overall tone is controlled and contemporary, with a subtle retro-futurist flavor from the rounded-rectangle geometry. It feels utilitarian and systematic—more instrument-panel than humanist—while remaining approachable due to the softened corners.
The letterforms appear designed to translate rounded-rectangle geometry into a practical sans: systematic, space-efficient, and visually consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals. The softened corners suggest an aim to keep the technical aesthetic friendly rather than harsh.
The design emphasizes consistency of corner radii and straight-sided bowls, which creates strong visual cohesion in all-caps settings and UI-like labels. Figures follow the same squared-round logic, supporting a cohesive typographic palette across text and numbers.
