A monoline sans with a pronounced forward slant and very open, rounded bowls. Letterforms are built from clean circular and elliptical arcs paired with long, straight terminals, creating a wide, spacious rhythm. Curves stay smooth and continuous, while joins and corners remain crisp, giving the design a precise, engineered feel. Proportions are generous with wide capitals and lowercase, and the overall spacing reads light and breathable in text.
Best suited to large-size applications where its thin strokes and wide proportions can breathe—such as headlines, brand wordmarks, posters, and editorial display settings. It can also work for modern packaging and interface accents when used with ample spacing and contrast against the background.
The tone is sleek and contemporary, combining a calm minimalism with a subtle sci‑fi/tech character. Its thin strokes and wide stance make it feel refined and airy rather than loud, with a modern, design-forward sensibility.
The design appears intended as a lightweight, geometric display sans that prioritizes clarity of silhouette and a modern, forward-leaning motion. Its rounded construction and open counters suggest an emphasis on elegance and contemporary readability in short-to-medium text blocks.
Several forms emphasize openness and flow: round letters stay nearly circular, and diagonals in letters like V/W/X and the digit set reinforce the italic motion. The numeral shapes are similarly streamlined, with rounded figures and simple, linear strokes that match the letterforms’ geometry.
