A slanted sans with a distinctly superelliptic construction: curves resolve into rounded-rectangle forms rather than pure circles, giving counters and bowls a squared-off softness. Strokes stay even and low-contrast, with smoothly filleted joins and gently flattened terminals that keep the texture uniform. Proportions feel fairly compact with a moderate x-height, while the oblique angle and slightly tightened curves produce a brisk, forward rhythm in text. Numerals and capitals follow the same rounded-square logic, maintaining consistent curvature and spacing across the set.
Well suited to interface typography, dashboards, and product surfaces where a modern, streamlined voice is needed. It can also work effectively for tech-forward branding, packaging, and wayfinding, especially where its rounded-square forms can act as a subtle visual signature in headings and short blocks of copy.
The overall tone is contemporary and engineered—clean, brisk, and slightly sporty due to the steady slant. Its rounded-square geometry adds a friendly edge without losing a precise, UI-like seriousness, making it feel modern and efficient rather than expressive or calligraphic.
The design appears intended to merge the neutrality of a contemporary sans with a distinctive superelliptic geometry and an always-on forward slant. The goal seems to be a practical, legible workhorse that still feels branded and modern through its rounded-rectilinear curves.
Distinctive superellipse shaping shows up in round letters and counters, creating a recognizable silhouette at display sizes while still reading smoothly in paragraphs. The consistent obliquing and restrained stroke modulation help maintain clarity, especially where curves meet straights.
