A slanted, geometric sans with monolinear strokes and corners softened into rounded-rectangle curves. The forms lean on superelliptical bowls and squared apertures, producing a compact, engineered silhouette across rounds like O/C and counters in a/e. Terminals are mostly blunt and crisply cut, with a consistent forward slant that reads as oblique rather than calligraphic. The overall rhythm is even and grid-friendly, with straightforward, simplified constructions that keep lettershapes highly uniform.
Well suited to interface labeling, technical documentation, dashboards, and data-heavy layouts where consistent spacing and a steady rhythm help scanning. The oblique stance also works for emphasis in captions, product markings, or compact display lines where a futuristic, engineered voice is desired.
The tone feels technical and purpose-built, with a subtle retro-futurist flavor reminiscent of labeling, instrumentation, and early digital interfaces. Its rounded-square geometry adds approachability while still reading precise and systematic, making it feel modern, controlled, and slightly sci‑fi.
Likely designed to deliver a streamlined, system-like sans that stays neutral in texture while adding character through a rounded-rect geometry and an oblique posture. The emphasis appears to be on consistent spacing, simplified construction, and a contemporary tech aesthetic that remains highly legible.
Round characters tend toward squarish bowls, and diagonals (e.g., in A, K, V, W, X, Y) are clean and angular, reinforcing a mechanical feel. Numerals share the same modular logic, with open, readable shapes and minimal ornamentation that favors clarity over expressiveness.
