A slanted sans with rounded, superelliptic construction and smooth, continuous curves. Strokes stay even and sturdy, with compact joins and gently squared bowls that read like softened rectangles rather than perfect circles. Counters are open and consistent, the x-height is notably tall, and the overall rhythm is tidy and controlled, giving both uppercase and lowercase a crisp, engineered feel. Numerals and letters maintain a cohesive geometry, with rounded terminals and a forward-leaning posture that keeps the texture lively without becoming sharp or brittle.
Well suited to brand systems that want a modern, forward-leaning voice, as well as UI and product interfaces where clean shapes and a tall x-height support fast reading. It can also work for editorial pull quotes, posters, and packaging where a streamlined italic sans adds energy without sacrificing clarity.
The overall tone feels contemporary and efficient, with a subtle friendliness coming from the rounded forms. Its italic lean adds motion and urgency, suggesting speed and progress while remaining approachable and legible.
The font appears designed to combine geometric, superelliptic roundness with an italicized, motion-oriented stance, aiming for a contemporary sans that feels both technical and approachable. The tall lowercase proportions and restrained stroke behavior suggest an emphasis on clarity at typical reading sizes while maintaining a distinctive shape language.
The design’s superellipse-like bowls create a distinctive “rounded-rectangle” signature in letters like O, C, D, and e, helping it stand apart from more purely circular geometric italics. The oblique angle is consistent across the set, producing an even diagonal flow in text.
