A slanted sans with rounded-rectangle construction that gives bowls and counters a softly squared, superellipse feel. Strokes stay largely monolinear, with smooth curves, blunt terminals, and a generally compact, efficient footprint. The uppercase forms are straightforward and sturdy, while the lowercase keeps single-storey, simplified shapes and open apertures for clarity. Numerals follow the same rounded, slightly condensed logic, maintaining even color and consistent rhythm across the set.
Well suited to contemporary branding systems, product identities, and interface typography where a clean, kinetic sans is needed. The slant and compact geometry work especially well for headlines, short statements, and signage, while the even stroke weight supports clear reproduction in digital and print contexts.
The overall tone is modern and functional with a friendly edge—confident and forward-leaning without feeling aggressive. Its rounded geometry softens the technical slant, creating a contemporary voice that reads as practical, active, and approachable.
Designed to blend geometric order with softened corners, delivering a modern oblique sans that feels energetic yet controlled. The consistent rounding and steady stroke behavior suggest an intent to provide a recognizable, system-friendly texture that stays readable while adding a subtle sense of motion.
The italic angle is pronounced enough to create momentum in lines of text, and the superelliptical rounding helps keep dense settings from looking sharp or brittle. Counters tend to be generously shaped for a geometric style, supporting steady legibility while preserving a distinctive, slightly squared silhouette.
