A streamlined sans with extended proportions and an oblique stance. Strokes read as monoline, with smooth joins and rounded terminals throughout. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle/superellipse-like forms, giving letters such as O, C, D, and 0 a squarish roundness rather than a pure circle. The rhythm is open and airy with generous internal counters, while corners and diagonals stay crisp and controlled. Numerals follow the same rounded-square logic, with distinctive, flattened curves and compact apertures.
Best suited for display sizes where the extended width and distinctive rounded-square curves can read clearly—headlines, poster typography, product branding, and logotypes. It can also work for UI/tech interfaces and dashboards in short labels or navigation, where its clean, geometric construction stays crisp and contemporary.
The overall tone feels modern and engineered—sleek, efficient, and slightly futuristic. Its rounded geometry softens the voice, but the extended width and oblique motion keep it dynamic and performance-oriented, reminiscent of tech UI labeling and contemporary automotive or sports branding.
The design appears intended to merge geometric clarity with softened superellipse curves, creating a contemporary, tech-forward italic voice. Its extended width and monoline construction suggest a focus on modern branding and interface-forward typography rather than traditional text setting.
Several glyphs emphasize identity through geometry: the Q uses a prominent, swooping tail; the lowercase a and g are single-storey with simplified bowls; and the 2 and 3 show flattened, rounded turns that echo the superelliptical theme. The spacing appears even and consistent, supporting a tidy, designed-in-a-grid impression without looking rigid.
