A monoline oblique sans with rounded-rectangle construction and consistently softened corners. Curves are built from superelliptical bowls rather than perfect circles, giving O/C/G and the numerals a squarish, streamlined feel. Strokes stay even throughout with minimal modulation, terminals are clean and unbracketed, and joins are crisp but not sharp. Proportions are moderately open with simple, modern letterforms and clear differentiation across capitals, lowercase, and figures.
Well-suited for interface labels, product branding, and short-to-medium headlines where a clean oblique voice is desired. The rounded geometry also fits wayfinding, packaging, and tech-oriented graphics that benefit from a smooth, modern sans.
The overall tone is sleek and contemporary, with a controlled, engineered smoothness. Its rounded geometry and gentle oblique angle read as modern and approachable while still feeling technical and precise.
The design appears intended to merge geometric clarity with softened, superelliptical rounding, producing a modern oblique sans that feels streamlined and system-like. It prioritizes consistency of curvature and a neat, minimal construction for contemporary display and UI-forward applications.
The figure set follows the same rounded-rectangle logic, with a notably boxy 0 and similarly shaped 8/9. The uppercase has a slightly extended, airy stance, and the italic angle is steady across the set, helping maintain a consistent rhythm in text.
