A sharply slanted sans with very thin hairline strokes and crisp, mostly unbracketed terminals. Letterforms are built from taut ellipses and long, linear strokes, giving the alphabet a stretched, horizontal feel and a fast visual rhythm. Curves are smooth and controlled (notably in C, O, S, and numerals), while diagonals and joins often end in pointed, wedge-like cuts that read as engineered rather than calligraphic. Spacing appears open and even, and counters stay generous, helping the delicate strokes remain legible at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and identity work where its thin strokes and italic momentum can be appreciated at larger sizes. It also fits technology-leaning branding, product marks, and sleek packaging where a refined, futuristic voice is desired. In longer text, it benefits from generous leading and high-contrast reproduction to preserve the hairline details.
The overall tone is sleek and aerodynamic, evoking contemporary tech, sci‑fi interfaces, and modern industrial design. Its lightness and slant convey speed and precision, while the rounded construction keeps it polished and approachable rather than aggressive.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, speed-driven sans voice by combining clean oval geometry with a pronounced forward slant and razor-thin strokes. It prioritizes an elegant, high-tech silhouette and distinctive display presence over neutral, workhorse text texture.
Round forms lean toward oval geometry, and several glyphs emphasize long horizontals and extended curves, reinforcing the wide, forward-leaning silhouette. Numerals follow the same thin, elliptical logic, with a particularly streamlined 2 and 3 and a narrow, angled 1. The design’s delicacy suggests it will look best when given ample size, contrast, and breathing room.
