A monoline, rounded sans with a consistent rightward slant and generous horizontal proportions. Curves are drawn as smooth ovals and arcs, while straight strokes stay thin and clean, giving the design a light, precise rhythm. Counters are open and spacious, terminals are mostly unadorned, and many shapes lean toward elliptical bowls (notably in O/C/G/Q and the numerals), producing an even, flowing texture in text. The lowercase shows a single-storey a and g, compact ascenders, and a continuous, soft-curve construction that keeps the overall color uniform.
Best suited to headlines, short paragraphs, and display settings where its thin, streamlined construction can stay crisp—such as branding systems, packaging, editorial pull quotes, and UI labels. It can also work for spacious, design-forward layouts where a light typographic voice is desired.
The tone is modern and airy, with a sleek, slightly futuristic feel reminiscent of technical labeling and contemporary UI typography. Its thin strokes and rounded geometry read as calm and refined rather than assertive, making it feel polished and lightweight.
The design appears intended to deliver a clean, contemporary sans with a distinctive oblique stance and an emphasis on smooth, circular construction. It prioritizes elegance and visual flow over heaviness, aiming for a refined display texture and a modern, technical character.
In the sample text, the italic angle and wide set create strong horizontal momentum, and the generous inner spaces help maintain clarity at display sizes. Numerals follow the same oval logic, reinforcing a cohesive, engineered aesthetic across letters and figures.
