A slanted, monoline sans with a squared-round (superelliptical) construction: curves resolve into rounded-rectangle bowls and softly chamfered corners rather than pure circles. Strokes keep a consistent thickness with gentle terminals, and many letters show slightly flattened arcs and broad radii that create a crisp, engineered rhythm. Counters are open and relatively spacious, with compact joins and smooth transitions in forms like B, D, O, and 0; the overall texture stays even and uncluttered. Figures follow the same rounded-rect geometry, with simple, pragmatic shapes and clear differentiation between 0, 1, and 7.
Well-suited to interface typography, app and dashboard labeling, and other screen-forward contexts where a clean, rounded-rect geometry feels at home. The controlled oblique slant can add motion to headings, product branding, and short-to-medium text while maintaining a tidy, contemporary texture.
The overall tone feels contemporary and functional, with a subtle tech-forward flavor driven by the superelliptical rounding and controlled, oblique motion. It reads as efficient and understated rather than expressive, lending a calm, professional character that suggests digital interfaces and modern product design.
The font appears intended to merge the neutrality of a modern sans with a distinctive superelliptical rounding, producing a recognizable yet restrained voice. Its systematic corner treatment and even stroke rhythm suggest a focus on consistency and clarity across both text and numerals.
The design leans on consistent corner rounding across capitals, lowercase, and numerals, which reinforces a cohesive system feel. The italic angle is noticeable without becoming cursive, keeping letterforms structured and stable in text.
