A monoline sans with an oblique, right-leaning skeleton and very open spacing. Curved letters are built from rounded-rectangle (superelliptic) forms, giving bowls and counters a soft, squared-off geometry rather than pure circles. Strokes stay consistently thin with clean terminals, and joins are crisp, producing a precise, engineered look. Capitals are broad and low in stance, while lowercase forms remain simple and streamlined, with single-storey constructions where applicable and generous interior counters.
This font is well suited to technology and product branding, UI accents, and modern editorial headlines where a sleek, geometric voice is desired. It can also work for posters, signage, and short display copy that benefits from its airy, spacious rhythm and distinctive rounded-square forms.
The overall tone feels modern and aerodynamic—cool, clinical, and lightly futuristic. Its rounded-square curves and slanted rhythm suggest technology, motion, and contemporary interface aesthetics rather than warmth or tradition.
The design appears intended to deliver a lightweight, forward-leaning sans that combines minimal stroke presence with a superelliptic geometry for a recognizable, contemporary silhouette. It prioritizes a clean, engineered texture and a sense of motion in continuous text.
The face relies on subtle geometric quirks—flattened curves, squared bowls, and straightened arcs—to create a distinctive texture in words. Numerals follow the same rounded-rectangular logic, reading as clean and schematic, with the oblique angle adding a continual sense of forward movement.
