A monoline sans with a consistent oblique slant and softly squared, superelliptical curves. Rounds are built from rounded-rectangle geometry rather than true circles, giving bowls and counters a gently flattened, contemporary feel. Terminals are clean and largely unadorned, with smooth joins and minimal stroke modulation; horizontals and curves read even and controlled. Proportions are compact and orderly, with open apertures and clear, simplified shapes that keep the rhythm steady across text and numerals.
Well suited to interface typography, product branding, and contemporary editorial headlines where a clean, slanted sans can add momentum without becoming decorative. The controlled geometry and open forms also make it a solid option for short-to-medium text in catalogs, posters, and wayfinding applications.
The overall tone feels modern and engineered, with a sleek, understated personality. Its rounded-square geometry softens the voice while still conveying precision, making it feel quietly technological rather than expressive or nostalgic.
Likely designed to provide a modern oblique companion for geometric sans systems, emphasizing smooth readability and a recognizable rounded-square skeleton. The intent appears to be a neutral, versatile voice with a subtle technical edge for contemporary layouts.
The slanted construction is uniform across capitals, lowercase, and figures, helping headings and running text keep a cohesive forward-leaning cadence. The superelliptical shaping is especially noticeable in bowls and the digit forms, lending a distinctive but restrained signature.
