A monoline sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softly squared curves, giving bowls and counters a superellipse feel. The letters lean backward, creating a distinctive leftward slant while keeping strokes even and clean. Proportions run on the compact side with tall lowercase relative to capitals, and spacing feels steady and utilitarian. Terminals are blunt and rounded rather than sharp, and the overall drawing emphasizes smooth geometry over calligraphic modulation.
Well suited to UI labels, app and device interfaces, and compact informational typography where a distinctive slanted stance helps differentiate brand voice. It also works for posters, packaging, and short headlines that benefit from a friendly geometric tone. For longer text, it’s best in larger sizes where the backward slant and tight proportions remain comfortable to read.
The backward lean and rounded geometry give the type a quirky, approachable voice that still reads as contemporary and systematic. It feels informal and slightly mischievous, with a tech-forward, signage-like clarity rather than a traditional editorial tone.
The design appears aimed at a contemporary geometric sans that feels more playful and branded than neutral, using superellipse construction and a reverse slant to create instant recognizability while keeping stroke weight consistent for clear reproduction.
Round forms such as O, C, and G read as softly squared, while diagonals and joins (e.g., in V/W and k) keep a crisp, engineered look. Numerals match the same rounded, monoline logic and maintain consistent visual color alongside the text.
