A very slim, right-leaning sans with a crisp, drawn-line feel and a strong diagonal axis. Strokes read largely monolinear but with subtle tapering at joins and terminals, producing a refined, high-precision rhythm rather than a uniform engineering line. Curves and bowls are built from rounded-rectangle/superellipse geometry, giving counters a squared-yet-soft profile and keeping circles from feeling perfectly round. Terminals are clean and mostly unbracketed, with occasional hooked or eased finishes on letters like J, S, and some lowercase forms. Numerals follow the same narrow, angled construction, with compact bowls and angular transitions that keep the set airy and light on the page.
Best suited for short display settings where its thin strokes and superelliptic construction can be appreciated: headlines, posters, logotypes, packaging, and technology-leaning branding. It can also work for interface accents, titles, and motion graphics where a light, futuristic voice is desired, but it will be most effective at larger sizes.
The overall tone is futuristic and technical, with a sleek, modernist vibe reminiscent of lightweight display lettering used in sci‑fi interfaces or concept branding. Its tight, slanted posture and rounded-rect geometry add a sense of speed and engineered elegance while staying minimal and understated.
The design appears intended to deliver a lightweight, forward-looking sans that blends geometric superellipse forms with an italicized, high-speed posture. Its consistent narrow proportions and clean terminals suggest a focus on contemporary display use—prioritizing style, rhythm, and a sleek texture over conventional neutrality.
The lowercase set mixes simple, single-storey constructions (notably the a) with tall ascenders and narrow counters, which reinforces the font’s vertical, streamlined cadence. In text, the spacing and diagonal stress create a lively texture, but the extreme thinness and stylized shapes make it feel more like a display face than a workhorse text sans.
