A monoline oblique sans with broad, horizontally stretched proportions and generous internal space. Curves are built from smooth ellipses, giving round letters like O/C/e a clean, open feel, while joins and terminals stay crisp and minimally treated. The rhythm is even and consistent, with straightforward geometry, open apertures, and a slightly extended stance that keeps counters and sidebearings airy in text.
Best suited to display settings where width and slant can be used as a graphic asset—headlines, posters, logotypes, and brand systems that want a modern, technical voice. It can also work for short UI or editorial lead text when generous spacing is available and the layout benefits from a wide, streamlined texture.
The overall tone feels sleek and engineered—more aerodynamic than expressive. Its wide, slanted forms convey speed and modernity while remaining restrained and neutral, making it read as contemporary and purposeful rather than playful or decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary oblique sans built from clean elliptical geometry, prioritizing a fast, forward-leaning impression and strong horizontal presence while keeping forms simple and highly consistent.
Distinctive wide capitals (notably M/W) and rounded bowls create a stable, panoramic texture across lines. Numerals follow the same elliptical logic, with smooth curves and clear silhouettes that match the letterforms.
