A monoline oblique sans with rounded, geometric construction and generous horizontal proportions. Curves are drawn as clean ellipses with smooth joins, while straight strokes keep a consistent, hairline-like thickness throughout. Terminals are mostly open and clean, with a mix of gently squared corners and softened transitions that preserve a crisp, engineered rhythm. Uppercase forms feel streamlined and slightly expanded, and the lowercase shows a tall, open structure with simple single-storey shapes and minimal detailing, keeping texture light and even in text.
Best suited to display settings where its thin strokes and expansive width can read clearly—such as headlines, posters, brand wordmarks, and contemporary editorial layouts. It can also work in UI or product contexts for short labels and feature callouts where a sleek, modern tone is desired, especially at comfortable sizes and with ample spacing.
The overall tone is sleek and forward-looking, with an airy, high-tech calm. Its thin, slanted forms suggest speed and precision while staying understated and refined, giving it a contemporary, design-led feel rather than a warm or traditional voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, streamlined sans with an oblique stance and a light typographic footprint. By prioritizing geometric clarity, open shapes, and consistent stroke logic, it aims for a precise, futuristic presence that stays minimal and clean in both alphabet grids and pangram-style sample text.
The slant is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, and the glyphs maintain a disciplined baseline and cap-line presence. Rounded letters (C, O, Q, S) emphasize smooth continuity, while diagonals (K, V, W, X, Y) stay sharp and clean, reinforcing a technical, drafting-like character. Numerals follow the same streamlined logic, pairing open curves with simple, elongated strokes for a coherent set.
