A monoline sans with a pronounced rightward slant and wide, open proportions. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle/superellipse geometry, producing squarish bowls and soft corners in letters like O, C, D, and G. Terminals are clean and mostly blunt, with a consistent stroke and minimal modulation; joins stay crisp, especially in diagonal structures like A, K, V, W, and X. Counters are generous and the overall rhythm feels airy, with compact crossbars and streamlined detailing across both uppercase and lowercase.
Best suited to headlines, logotypes, posters, and short-to-medium UI or interface text where a clean, futuristic voice is desired. It also works well for technology, automotive, sports, and product branding contexts that benefit from a sleek italic sans.
The overall tone is modern and aerodynamic, leaning toward a sci‑fi or tech interface feel. Its smooth, rounded geometry and steady slant read as fast, sleek, and engineered rather than warm or traditional.
Designed to combine a forward-leaning italic stance with superelliptic, rounded-rectangle forms for a contemporary, engineered look. The intention appears to be clarity and speed: wide shapes, open counters, and simplified terminals that keep the texture light and modern.
Figures follow the same rounded-rectangle logic, giving 0 and 8 a soft, squared silhouette and keeping the set visually cohesive with the letters. The italic construction is evident throughout, with diagonals and angled stems shaping a continuous forward motion in text.
