A slanted, monoline sans with a geometric skeleton and smooth, rounded curves. Strokes stay even throughout, with open counters and generous apertures that keep forms clear at text sizes. Proportions lean slightly tall, with compact ascenders/descenders relative to the x-height and a tidy, consistent rhythm across lines. Capitals are straightforward and engineered, while the lowercase shows simple single-storey forms (notably a and g) and softly rounded joins; numerals are clean and contemporary with an open, legible 4 and balanced 8.
Well-suited to interface typography, product screens, and dashboards where clarity and a contemporary voice are important. The slanted stance also works well for emphasis in editorial layouts, marketing copy, and presentations, and it can carry concise signage or wayfinding when set with ample size and spacing.
The overall tone is modern and approachable, combining a pragmatic, UI-like clarity with a subtle sense of motion from the slant. It feels neutral enough for everyday communication but polished and purposeful, suggesting speed, precision, and contemporary branding.
The design appears intended as a streamlined italic companion for modern sans systems, prioritizing clear word shapes and consistent geometry. Its restrained detailing and even stroke logic suggest a focus on versatile, everyday readability with a subtle dynamic character.
Spacing appears even and controlled, supporting smooth word shapes in running text. Curves are drawn with a clean, circular logic (O/Q/0) and terminals stay understated, avoiding sharp calligraphic cues while retaining a lively, forward-leaning stance.
