A slanted sans with smooth, rounded construction and largely monoline strokes. Curves are clean and continuous, with open counters and minimal modulation, giving a crisp, even color in text. The italic is built as an oblique-style slant with straightforward, uncluttered joins; terminals are plain and contemporary, and the overall drawing favors simple circular and elliptical geometry. Figures match the letterforms with similarly clean, open shapes and consistent stroke treatment.
Works well for interface typography, dashboards, and product surfaces where a clean italic voice is needed for emphasis. Its open forms and even texture also suit editorial subheads, captions, and informational layouts, as well as contemporary branding that calls for a restrained, technical-leaning sans.
The tone is modern and matter-of-fact, with a forward-leaning energy from the slant. It reads as practical and contemporary rather than expressive, projecting clarity and efficiency suitable for utilitarian and digital-feeling contexts.
The design appears intended as a practical italic companion with a modern, geometric sensibility—prioritizing clarity, consistency, and a clean typographic rhythm over calligraphic flair.
Capitals appear stable and compact while maintaining generous interior space, helping legibility at larger sizes. Lowercase forms keep a simple, consistent rhythm with no decorative cues, and the overall spacing feels balanced for continuous reading.
