A slanted sans with crisp, uniform strokes and gently rounded curves. Letterforms are broadly proportioned with generous horizontal space and open counters, producing an airy texture in text. Terminals are mostly flat and clean, while joins and curves stay smooth and controlled, giving the alphabet a consistent, engineered rhythm. Uppercase shapes are straightforward and geometric-leaning, and lowercase forms maintain clarity with simple constructions and minimal modulation.
Works well for user interfaces, product typography, and contemporary branding where a slanted sans can add momentum without sacrificing legibility. The open forms and wide proportions also suit short editorial passages, headings, and wayfinding-style signage, especially when a clean, modern tone is desired.
The overall tone feels modern and matter-of-fact, with a subtle sense of speed from the slant. It reads as understated and pragmatic rather than expressive, projecting a clean, contemporary voice suited to utilitarian communication.
Likely designed as a practical italic companion for a contemporary sans system, aiming to provide a smooth, readable slanted style with minimal stylistic distraction. The emphasis appears to be on clarity, consistent rhythm, and a modern, versatile texture across letters and numerals.
Figures are simple and readable, matching the same clean stroke behavior as the letters. The italic angle is consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, helping maintain a unified flow in continuous text.
