A clean oblique sans with smooth, rounded bowls and consistently low stroke contrast. Curves are built from near-circular forms with slightly squared-off terminals, giving letters a crisp, engineered finish. Proportions are fairly compact with a steady rhythm, and counters stay open for clarity; the lowercase shows simple, single-storey forms (notably a and g) and a straightforward, utilitarian construction. Numerals follow the same geometric logic, with clear shapes and even color across a line of text.
Well-suited to interface labels, dashboards, and product UI where a slanted emphasis is helpful without sacrificing clarity. It also works for contemporary branding, short headlines, and signage that benefits from a clean, geometric voice and a sense of motion.
The overall tone feels modern and neutral, with an energetic forward-lean from the oblique stance. Its geometric construction reads as technical and contemporary rather than expressive, making it feel efficient and matter-of-fact.
Likely designed to provide a straightforward, modern oblique sans that stays highly legible while adding a subtle sense of speed and emphasis. The consistent geometry and restrained detailing suggest an intention toward versatile, system-friendly typography that still feels current.
The italics are drawn as true oblique forms rather than calligraphic italics, maintaining consistent stroke logic and spacing. Round letters (O, Q, C) appear especially smooth and even, while diagonals (K, V, W, X, Y) are sharp and clean, contributing to a slightly mechanical precision.
