A slanted, monolinear sans with softly squared curves and rounded corners that give counters a superellipse feel. Strokes stay even throughout with minimal modulation, and terminals read smooth and slightly tapered rather than sharply cut. The overall set is narrow-to-regular in proportion with consistent spacing that aligns characters to a fixed rhythm, while round letters (O, Q, 0) appear gently condensed and vertically steady. Numerals are similarly oblique and streamlined, pairing simple forms with clear, open interior shapes.
It fits well in UI labeling, dashboards, and compact informational settings where a steady, fixed-width cadence helps alignment. The oblique stance can also work for emphasis in technical documentation, captions, and short paragraphs where a clean, contemporary tone is desired.
The tone is modern and technical, with a calm, orderly rhythm that feels suited to systems and tools. Rounded geometry keeps it approachable, while the consistent, forward slant adds momentum and a subtle “code/editor” character without becoming decorative.
The design appears intended to provide a crisp, space-efficient italic companion for interface and technical typography, combining fixed-width regularity with softened geometry for a friendlier on-screen presence.
Curves are built from soft rectangles rather than pure circles, and joins stay clean and restrained. Letterforms prioritize clarity through open apertures and uncluttered construction, giving the text sample a smooth, even texture across long lines.
