A streamlined oblique sans with smooth, rounded-rectangle curves and largely monolinear strokes. The drawing favors simple, geometric construction: circular forms read as squarish superellipses, terminals are clean and unadorned, and joins stay crisp without sharp contrast. Proportions feel slightly condensed in the capitals while the lowercase presents a tall, sturdy structure with generous counters and clear apertures, producing an even, upright rhythm despite the slant. Numerals follow the same pragmatic, rounded geometry with consistent stroke weight and stable alignment.
This font is well suited to UI typography, product dashboards, and wayfinding where a clean oblique sans can add pace while staying legible. It also works effectively for contemporary headlines, tech-forward branding, and short to mid-length copy in marketing layouts that benefit from a crisp, geometric voice.
The overall tone is modern and utilitarian, with a friendly edge created by the softened corners and rounded bowls. Its slanted stance adds motion and a contemporary, forward-leaning feel without becoming expressive or calligraphic. The result reads as confident, efficient, and subtly sporty—well suited to interfaces and engineered branding.
The design appears intended to blend functional legibility with a distinctive superelliptical silhouette, offering a modern sans that feels engineered and consistent. The oblique angle likely aims to convey speed and contemporaneity while preserving the clarity and straightforward construction of a geometric sans.
Round letters like O/C/G and the digit forms emphasize superelliptical geometry, giving the type a distinctive, slightly squarish softness. The italic is drawn as a true oblique style rather than a cursive interpretation, keeping forms straightforward and highly consistent across the set.
