A slanted, geometric sans with largely monoline strokes and smooth, circular bowls. Curves are drawn with even tension and generous rounding, while straight strokes stay crisp and consistent, producing a steady left-to-right rhythm. Counters read open and clear, with compact joins and minimal modulation, and the overall spacing feels balanced and straightforward across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Works well for interface typography, product branding, and editorial headlines where an oblique sans can add pace while staying neutral. The clear shapes and open counters also suit signage and numeric-heavy contexts such as dashboards, labels, and charts.
The tone is modern and matter-of-fact, with a sleek, contemporary slant that adds motion without becoming expressive or decorative. Its restrained geometry and even stroke color lend a practical, engineered feel suited to clean communication.
Likely designed as a practical italic companion for a geometric sans system, emphasizing clarity and consistent stroke color. The goal appears to be a contemporary, efficient look that remains legible and tidy in continuous reading and functional applications.
The italic angle is consistent across the set, helping text lines feel continuous and energetic. Round characters maintain strong circularity, and diagonals (notably in letters like A, V, W, X, Y and the 7) feel stable rather than sharp or aggressive.
