A rounded, monoline sans with a consistent oblique slant and softly squared curves that read as superelliptic rather than purely circular. Strokes maintain an even thickness with smooth joins and generous corner radii, giving counters a rounded-rectangle feel in letters like O, D, and e. Proportions are slightly narrow and aerodynamic, with simplified terminals and minimal modulation; curves and diagonals stay clean and controlled for a tidy rhythm in text. Numerals follow the same soft-rectilinear logic, with open, uncluttered shapes and a cohesive slanted stance.
Works well for UI labels, dashboards, and product typography where a sleek, rounded aesthetic supports a technical tone. It can also serve in branding for apps, electronics, or automotive themes, and in display uses like posters or titles where the oblique, streamlined rhythm adds motion. For signage or wayfinding, the simplified shapes and consistent stroke weight help maintain clarity at medium sizes.
The overall tone feels modern and technical while remaining approachable due to the rounded geometry. Its slant and softened corners suggest speed and efficiency—evoking interfaces, instrumentation, and sci‑fi inflections—without becoming harsh or aggressive. The look balances retro-futurist flavor with contemporary cleanliness.
The design appears intended to merge geometric clarity with a softened, contemporary personality by using superelliptic curves and rounded-rectangle counters. The oblique stance adds a sense of motion while preserving a constructed, system-like feel suitable for modern interface and industrial contexts.
Several forms lean toward squared-off bowls and rounded corners, creating a distinctive “soft rectangle” silhouette that stays consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures. The italic is more of a steady oblique construction than a calligraphic italic, keeping the letterforms geometric and uniform.
