A monoline, oblique sans with markedly extended proportions and a low x-height relative to tall ascenders. Letterforms rely on smooth, elliptical curves combined with crisp, angled terminals, creating a streamlined, forward-leaning rhythm. Counters are open and spacious, with rounded bowls and arched strokes that keep the texture light and airy. The figures follow the same slanted, simplified construction, favoring clean arcs and restrained detailing for a consistent set.
Best suited to short-to-medium display settings where its wide stance and oblique motion can read as intentional—headlines, titles, brand marks, and promotional graphics. It can also work for lightweight signage or UI accents when ample size and spacing are available, but its low x-height and extended width make it less ideal for dense body text.
The overall tone feels fast, modern, and engineered—more like an aerodynamic wordmark than a neutral text face. Its slant and extended width suggest motion and speed, while the monoline construction keeps it calm and controlled rather than expressive or calligraphic.
Likely designed to deliver a sleek, forward-moving sans aesthetic with an emphasis on width, speed, and clean geometry. The consistent monoline strokes and simplified curves suggest a focus on contemporary display use where a distinctive, aerodynamic silhouette matters more than compact readability.
Stroke endings tend to resolve in sharp, slightly wedge-like cuts, which adds a technical edge to otherwise rounded forms. In longer lines, the wide set and continuous slant create a flowing, horizontal emphasis, with generous internal spacing helping maintain clarity despite the lightweight strokes.
