A lean, forward-slanted sans with a monoline stroke and wide overall proportions. Forms are built from rounded-rectangle/superellipse geometry, giving corners a consistently soft, squared-off roundness and producing smooth, continuous curves. The rhythm is open and spacious, with generous sidebearings and simplified joins; counters tend to be large and clean. Terminals are blunt and controlled, and several characters show streamlined, engineered construction rather than calligraphic modulation.
Works well for UI labels, dashboards, and other on-screen typography where a clean, geometric rhythm is desirable. Its wide, open shapes and consistent stroke make it effective for short headlines, product wordmarks, and futuristic or technical posters. For longer text, it is best used at comfortable sizes where the light stroke and airy spacing remain clear.
The combination of soft-square geometry and a consistent slant reads as contemporary and tech-oriented, with a calm, lightweight presence. It feels modern and efficient—more interface and product-forward than literary—while the rounded corners keep the tone approachable rather than aggressive.
The design appears aimed at a modern geometric voice built from rounded-rectangle primitives, balancing a technical feel with softened edges. The forward slant and open spacing suggest an intention to convey speed and precision while maintaining clarity and friendliness.
Distinctive superelliptic shapes are especially apparent in round letters and numerals, creating a ‘rounded-square’ silhouette instead of pure circles. The italic angle is steady across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, reinforcing a sense of motion. Some letters use simplified structures (e.g., single-storey forms), supporting a clean, schematic aesthetic.
