A rounded, geometric sans with an italic/oblique slant and smooth, low-contrast strokes. Curves are built from soft superellipse-like forms, giving bowls and counters a squarish-round footprint rather than pure circles. Terminals are clean and largely unadorned, with gently eased corners and consistent stroke endings that keep the texture even. Proportions feel straightforward with a moderate x-height, open apertures, and numerals that match the same rounded-rect geometry for a cohesive set.
Well-suited to interface labels, dashboards, and product graphics where a clean, modern sans is needed with a bit of motion. It can also work effectively for branding and headline settings, especially in tech-leaning or contemporary contexts where rounded geometry helps keep the voice approachable.
The overall tone is contemporary and energetic, combining a streamlined, engineered feel with approachable softness from the rounded geometry. The italic angle adds forward motion, making it read as active and modern rather than formal.
Likely designed to blend geometric clarity with softened corners, creating a modern sans that feels precise without becoming harsh. The italic slant appears intended to add pace and emphasis while keeping the construction consistent and utilitarian.
In text, the oblique construction remains stable and legible, with clear differentiation between similar shapes and a smooth rhythm across mixed-case lines. The rounded-square structure is especially noticeable in letters with bowls and in the figures, reinforcing a consistent, system-like visual logic.
