A slanted, monolinear sans with superelliptical construction: curves read as rounded-rectangle arcs and bowls stay evenly inflated rather than truly circular. Strokes are smooth and consistent, with gently rounded terminals and a clear forward rhythm. Uppercase forms are streamlined and slightly narrow in feel, while lowercase shows a tall x-height with open counters and simplified joins that keep shapes legible at text sizes. Numerals follow the same soft-rectilinear logic, with clear, open forms and minimal ornament.
Works well for interface typography and product systems that want a modern, approachable feel without losing clarity. The tall lowercase and open shapes support comfortable reading in short-to-medium text, while the smooth, rounded forms also suit contemporary branding, presentations, and clean signage where a gentle, streamlined italic is desired.
The overall tone is contemporary and composed, combining a friendly softness from the rounded geometry with a mildly technical, engineered precision. The italic slant adds motion without becoming expressive or calligraphic, keeping the voice understated and efficient.
Likely designed as a utilitarian italic sans that stays neutral and readable while adding a polished, forward-leaning cadence. The superelliptical geometry suggests an intention to feel modern and friendly, aligning well with digital design aesthetics and clean information display.
Round letters like C/G/O/Q and the bowls in B/P/R emphasize squarish, softened corners, producing a consistent ‘squircle’ texture across lines. Diagonals (A/V/W/X/Y) are crisp and clean, and the general spacing feels even and airy, helping long passages remain light on the page.
