A rounded, geometric sans with a consistent oblique slant and a soft-rectangle construction throughout. Curves tend toward superelliptical bowls with flattened shoulders, and terminals are smoothly rounded rather than blunt or sharp. Strokes maintain an even thickness, creating clean silhouettes and a steady texture in text. Counters are open and generously shaped, while joins (notably in K, M, N, W) are crisp and angular, balancing the otherwise softened forms. Figures follow the same rounded-rectangle logic, with the 0 and 8 reading especially as refined capsules.
Well suited to technology and product branding, interface headings, dashboards, and contemporary signage where a fast, streamlined feel is desired. It also works for packaging or editorial display settings that benefit from a geometric, motion-inflected voice, especially at medium-to-large sizes.
The overall tone feels modern and engineered—sleek and forward-looking with a subtle automotive/tech vibe. The rounded corners keep it approachable, while the oblique angle adds motion and a performance-oriented energy.
The font appears designed to merge geometric efficiency with softened, superelliptical curves, producing a contemporary oblique sans that reads as both technical and friendly. The consistent rounding and stable proportions suggest an emphasis on clean reproduction and a cohesive, system-like aesthetic across letters and figures.
The design leans on squared-off curves and wide, stable bowls, which helps maintain clarity at display sizes. The italic is more of an oblique stance than a calligraphic italic, preserving geometric structure and predictable rhythm across lines.
