A rounded, monoline sans with a consistent rightward slant and softly squared curves that feel superelliptical rather than purely circular. Strokes are even and smooth, with rounded terminals and generous rounding at joins, giving letters a streamlined, slightly engineered look. Counters are open and moderately sized, and the overall rhythm is steady, with clear distinctions between forms (notably the angled diagonals and the simple, unadorned constructions). Numerals follow the same restrained, rounded geometry and maintain a cohesive texture alongside the letters.
Well-suited for interface typography, product labeling, and information design where a clean, rounded voice is desirable. The controlled slant and open forms also make it a good fit for short-to-medium text in branding, dashboards, and signage applications that benefit from a modern, approachable tone.
The tone is contemporary and matter-of-fact, balancing a technical clarity with a friendly softness from the rounded corners. It reads as calm and efficient rather than expressive or decorative, with an understated forward motion from the slant.
Likely designed to offer an italic companion with a distinctly modern, rounded construction—prioritizing clarity and consistency while adding a subtle sense of motion. The softened geometry suggests an intention to feel friendly and contemporary without sacrificing a disciplined, system-ready structure.
The italic is built as a true slanted design rather than a calligraphic script: curves stay controlled, joints remain tidy, and the forms keep a functional, signage-like clarity. Round letters show subtly flattened sides, reinforcing the superellipse feel and helping maintain a uniform color across lines of text.
