A slanted, monoline sans with a superelliptic construction: curves and counters are formed from rounded-rectangle geometry rather than circular bowls. Terminals are consistently softened, corners are generously radiused, and straight strokes often end with subtly squared-off, rounded caps. Proportions are compact and slightly condensed in feel, with open apertures and clean interior spacing; numerals and capitals maintain the same rounded-corner logic for a unified texture. Overall rhythm is smooth and engineered, with crisp diagonals and a controlled, uniform stroke that emphasizes outline clarity over contrast.
Well-suited for UI labels, dashboards, and product surfaces where a compact, modern oblique can add motion and clarity. It also fits technology and mobility branding, sports and performance contexts, and short-to-medium display text such as signage, posters, and packaging where the rounded-square forms can become a recognizable visual signature.
The tone reads contemporary and purposeful, evoking a streamlined, technical aesthetic associated with interfaces, transportation, and performance branding. The rounded corners keep it approachable, while the forward slant and squared curves suggest speed and precision.
The design appears intended to merge a clean sans foundation with superelliptic, rounded-rectangle forms to create a distinctive, contemporary voice. The consistent corner rounding and controlled stroke aim for a cohesive, engineered feel that remains readable while signaling speed and modernity.
The superellipse-driven bowls and rounded-rect counters give letters like C, O, D, and G a distinctive “soft-square” silhouette, and the punctuation and numerals follow the same design language, reinforcing a cohesive, system-like look. In text, the oblique angle creates strong directional flow, making the face feel energetic without becoming overly expressive.
