A monoline, forward-leaning sans with superelliptic construction: curves resolve into rounded-rectangle bowls and soft corners rather than pure circles. Strokes are consistently thin and even, with a gently squarish rhythm in counters and terminals. The capitals feel tall and streamlined, while the lowercase maintains clear, open apertures and compact joins; several forms (notably the U/W family and the numerals) emphasize smooth, continuous curves and rounded corners. Figures are similarly geometric and open, with simplified shapes and horizontal terminals that reinforce a sleek, engineered texture.
Well suited to interface typography, product branding, and other modern design systems where a lightweight, motion-forward voice is desired. It can also work effectively for headlines, signage, and short bursts of copy where the rounded geometry and italic cadence can be appreciated without relying on dense paragraph settings.
The overall tone is modern and high-tech, with an airy lightness and a refined, synthetic feel. Its rounded geometry reads friendly but still precise, evoking contemporary UI, mobility, and product-design aesthetics rather than editorial warmth.
The design appears intended to merge geometric clarity with softened, superelliptic rounding, creating a contemporary sans that feels fast, clean, and engineered. The consistent thin stroke and integrated slant prioritize a sleek, forward-moving texture for modern display and UI-oriented applications.
The italic slant is integral to the design rather than a simple oblique, helping create a sense of motion. The superelliptic curves and rounded corners are consistently applied across letters and numbers, giving text a cohesive, streamlined rhythm at display sizes.
