This typeface is a slanted, linear sans with a distinctly even, mechanical rhythm and consistent letter widths. Strokes are smooth and low in modulation, with rounded joins and largely open, circular/elliptical bowls (notably in C, G, O, Q, and the lowercase a/e). The slant is steady across capitals, lowercase, and numerals, and the spacing reads deliberate and uniform, producing a grid-like texture in text. Details stay restrained: terminals are generally clean and gently rounded, and forms favor simple geometric construction over calligraphic contrast.
It suits interface labeling, dashboards, and tables where consistent character widths support alignment and scanning. The straightforward shapes and steady slant also work well for technical documentation, captions, and schematic-style typography, and can scale to short signage or wayfinding where clarity matters.
The overall tone feels modern and utilitarian, with a crisp, efficient voice suited to structured information. Its slanted stance adds a sense of motion and immediacy without becoming expressive or decorative.
The design appears intended to provide a clean, dependable sans for situations that benefit from strict horizontal measurement and a slightly dynamic, forward-leaning feel. It prioritizes consistency, legibility, and structured spacing over decorative detail.
The numerals follow the same disciplined, oblique geometry, and the sample text shows a stable baseline and consistent color that stays clear at larger sizes. Round letters remain spacious and readable, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y, Z) reinforce the font’s forward-leaning, engineered character.
