A monoline sans with a pronounced rightward slant and generously rounded, superelliptical curves. Round letters are built from soft rectangles rather than perfect circles, giving counters a squarish-but-smooth geometry. Strokes stay consistently thin, terminals are clean and unbracketed, and joins are crisp, producing a neat, engineered rhythm. Proportions feel extended with ample sidebearing space, and the figures follow the same streamlined logic with open, rounded forms and simple diagonals.
Best suited to display and short text where its thin strokes and wide stance can breathe—brand marks, product naming, posters, titles, and tech-forward packaging. It can also work for interface headers or signage-style applications when set at sufficiently large sizes and with comfortable tracking.
The overall tone is sleek and contemporary, with a lightly futuristic, transit-signage feel. Its restrained shapes and airy spacing read as calm, precise, and modern rather than expressive or decorative.
Designed to deliver a modern geometric sans that feels fast, clean, and systematically constructed, using superelliptical rounds to differentiate it from standard circular grotesks while maintaining a minimal, utilitarian voice.
Distinctive superellipse construction is especially apparent in the rounded capitals and numerals, where straight-ish sides transition into broad curves. The italic angle is consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, and the spacing contributes to a clean, high-end presentation at display sizes.
