A slanted sans with a clean, geometric construction and subtly rounded corners throughout. Curves read as smooth, superellipse-like bowls (notably in C, O, Q, and lowercase o), paired with straight-sided strokes that keep counters open and orderly. The lowercase shows a tall x-height with compact ascenders/descenders, giving text a dense, information-forward texture. Terminals are mostly sheared and crisp rather than calligraphic, and joins stay firm and simplified for consistent rhythm across letters and numerals.
Works well for UI and product typography where a compact, high x-height silhouette improves small-size recognition, especially in short labels and navigation. The oblique angle and smooth geometry also make it effective for contemporary branding, headlines, and promotional copy that benefits from a sense of speed and modernity. The clear, geometric caps and lining-style figures lend themselves to signage, diagrams, and wayfinding contexts.
The overall tone is contemporary and pragmatic, with a streamlined, engineered feel. The oblique stance adds energy and forward motion while the rounded geometry keeps it approachable rather than aggressive. It reads as neutral and utilitarian, suited to interfaces and systems where clarity matters.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, system-friendly sans with an energetic oblique stance and softened, rounded geometry. It balances a technical, engineered structure with approachable curves to stay readable and consistent across both display text and compact copy settings.
Distinctive details include a single-storey lowercase a, a single-storey g with a clean open form, and numerals that match the same rounded-rect geometry (notably 0 and 8). The uppercase proportions feel straightforward and signage-friendly, while the italic angle remains consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, supporting a cohesive typographic color in running text.
