A condensed, oblique sans with monoline strokes and generously rounded corners that push many curves toward a squarish, superelliptical silhouette. Bowls and counters tend to be tall and narrow, with smooth, continuous joins and minimal modulation, creating an even typographic color. Terminals are clean and softly rounded; diagonals (as in K, V, W, X) are crisp but not sharp, maintaining the same softened geometry. Figures are similarly narrow and upright in construction despite the slant, with simple, open forms and consistent stroke endings.
It suits compact applications where a narrow, fast-looking italic sans is helpful, such as UI labels, dashboards, packaging, and technical or product branding. The distinctive rounded geometry also makes it effective for display uses like posters, titles, and identity work that benefits from a contemporary, engineered tone.
The overall tone feels modern and utilitarian, with a subtle retro-futurist flavor reminiscent of streamlined industrial lettering. The rounded-rectangle geometry reads as friendly and approachable while still staying precise and technical. The italic stance adds motion and urgency without becoming expressive or calligraphic.
The design appears intended to merge a clean sans structure with superelliptical, rounded-rectangle forms, yielding a streamlined look that stays readable while feeling purpose-built. The consistent oblique angle suggests an emphasis on speed and directionality, while the softened corners keep the overall voice approachable.
The typeface relies on tall proportions and rounded-square curves to differentiate itself, producing a distinctive rhythm in text where verticals dominate and curves feel engineered. In the sample, spacing appears fairly tight and the slant is consistent, helping it hold a cohesive texture in longer lines.
