A monoline sans with a consistent rightward slant and generous horizontal proportions. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle (superellipse) logic, giving bowls and counters a softly squared feel rather than purely circular forms. Terminals are clean and unembellished, and joins stay crisp, producing a precise, engineered rhythm. Counters are roomy and apertures remain fairly open, keeping the texture light and breathable in lines of text.
Well suited to display typography where a sleek, modern voice is needed—such as UI labels, dashboards, wayfinding, and technology or mobility branding. The open counters and tidy geometry also work nicely for short paragraphs, captions, and product packaging where a light, precise texture is desirable.
The overall tone feels sleek and contemporary, with a subtle sci‑fi/tech flavor driven by the rounded-rect geometry and italic motion. Its light, open color reads understated and refined rather than loud, suggesting modern interfaces, transportation, or product-design contexts.
Likely designed to combine the efficiency of a geometric sans with a distinctive superelliptic rounding and a forward-leaning stance for added momentum. The intent reads as clarity-first and system-friendly, while still offering a recognizable, contemporary character for branding and interface work.
The design leans on simple, continuous strokes with minimal modulation, and the rounded corners are consistent across letters and numerals. In the sample text, the spacing and open internal shapes help maintain clarity at display sizes, while the distinctive superelliptic rounds give headings a recognizable silhouette.
