A rounded, oblique sans with smooth, superellipse-like curves and softened corners throughout. Strokes are largely monolinear with minimal contrast, producing an even color on the page. The letterforms lean consistently forward and favor broad, open counters; bowls and circular shapes read as rounded rectangles rather than perfect circles. Terminals are clean and gently blunted, and the overall rhythm is steady, with slightly lively spacing that keeps text from feeling rigid.
Performs well in UI and product contexts where a warm, contemporary sans is needed, especially for labels, navigation, and callouts. The italicized stance also makes it effective for headlines, posters, and branding applications that benefit from a built-in sense of speed and emphasis. It can work in short-to-medium text where a smooth, friendly texture is desired.
The slanted posture and rounded geometry give the face a friendly, contemporary tone with a sense of motion. It feels informal but controlled—more upbeat and approachable than technical—making it well suited to brands and interfaces that want warmth without looking playful or quirky.
Likely designed to blend geometric clarity with softened superellipse forms, offering a modern sans voice that stays approachable. The consistent oblique angle appears intended to add energy and differentiate tone while keeping the overall system simple and cohesive across letters and numerals.
Uppercase forms present simple geometric construction, while lowercase shows a soft, utilitarian feel with clear apertures and stable, easy-to-scan silhouettes. Numerals match the same rounded, forward-leaning logic, keeping a cohesive texture across alphanumerics in running text.
