A sturdy slanted sans with monoline construction and rounded, geometric bowls. Letterforms are compact with tight apertures and a consistent, engineered rhythm, while terminals are clean and largely straight-cut. Curves stay smooth and controlled, and diagonals (notably in K, V, W, X, and y) give the face a brisk forward motion. Figures follow the same firm, simplified geometry, with clear counters and a uniform visual color across mixed-case text.
This face suits interface typography where a compact, consistent texture is helpful, such as software UI, dashboards, and data-adjacent layouts. It also works well for labels, short instructions, and captioning where a brisk, technical tone is desired and the slanted stance can add emphasis without resorting to decorative styling.
The overall tone feels modern and purposeful—more functional than expressive—suggesting speed, clarity, and a no-nonsense voice. Its slant adds energy without turning informal, keeping the impression disciplined and technical.
The design appears intended to provide a clean, efficient sans voice with an energetic slant, optimized for consistent rhythm and straightforward letter recognition in practical settings.
The design maintains a consistent cadence across letters and numerals, producing an even typographic texture that holds up well in longer lines. The simplified shapes and restrained detailing prioritize immediate recognition and a steady, workmanlike presence.
