A clean oblique sans with monoline strokes, open apertures, and softly rounded joins and terminals. Curves are smooth and broadly elliptical, with compact counters that stay clear at text sizes. Capitals are sturdy and slightly wide, while the lowercase shows a simple, contemporary build with a single-storey a and g and a small, round i/j dot. Numerals are straightforward and evenly weighted, with gentle rounding that matches the letterforms.
Works well for interface labels, signage, and general-purpose branding where a clean oblique voice is needed without becoming overly stylized. It also suits headlines, posters, and packaging that benefit from a bit of motion, while remaining readable in short-to-medium text blocks.
The overall tone feels modern and approachable, pairing a utilitarian clarity with a lightly upbeat, active slant. Its smooth curves and open forms read as friendly rather than technical, making it feel easygoing while still polished.
Designed to provide a neutral, contemporary sans foundation with an integrated oblique stance for emphasis and momentum. The forms prioritize legibility through open counters and simplified construction, aiming for broad everyday usability across display and text contexts.
The italic angle is consistent across letters and numerals, creating a cohesive forward rhythm in running text. Diagonals and curved strokes keep a stable thickness, and spacing appears balanced, supporting both short labels and longer passages.
