A slanted sans with smooth, rounded geometry and a consistent, low-contrast stroke. Curves read as superelliptical—more like rounded rectangles than true circles—giving bowls and counters a tidy, engineered feel. Terminals are clean and unadorned, with compact joins and a steady rhythm that stays uniform across caps, lowercase, and numerals. The overall color is even and controlled, with streamlined letterforms that prioritize clarity over calligraphic nuance.
Well suited to user interfaces, product typography, and wayfinding where a clean italic voice is needed without decorative distractions. It also works for contemporary branding and short-to-medium headlines, and can hold up in data-adjacent settings where consistent numerals and an even typographic color are important.
The tone is contemporary and functional, with a subtle sense of speed from the oblique stance. Its rounded construction softens the technical geometry, keeping it approachable while still feeling precise and system-oriented.
This design appears intended as a pragmatic italic sans for modern systems: geometric, rounded, and highly consistent, offering a forward-leaning emphasis while retaining a calm, neutral reading experience.
Capital shapes skew geometric and open, while lowercase forms stay compact and steady in width, helping text set with a stable cadence. Numerals match the same rounded, engineered logic, maintaining consistent presence alongside letters.
