A slanted sans with smooth, geometric construction and largely monolinear strokes. Curves are round and clean, with open apertures and generous counters that keep letterforms legible at larger text sizes. The oblique angle is consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, giving a forward-leaning rhythm; diagonals (V/W/X/Y) feel sharp and tidy while bowls (O/C/G/e) stay softly circular. Terminals are mostly straight-cut and unadorned, producing a crisp, contemporary texture in words and lines.
Well suited for headlines and subheads where an always-italic voice can add pace and emphasis. The clear shapes and open counters also make it useful for UI labels, navigation, and concise product or brand messaging, especially when a contemporary, active tone is desired.
The overall tone is modern and energetic without feeling aggressive. Its steady italic slant adds motion and emphasis, while the rounded geometry keeps it friendly and accessible for everyday communication.
The design appears intended as a practical, modern sans presented in a perpetual italic style to provide built-in dynamism. It prioritizes clean geometry, consistent slant, and straightforward legibility for display-oriented text and prominent interface or branding applications.
Uppercase forms read clean and understated, while the lowercase shows a slightly more conversational feel due to the italic posture and compact joins. Numerals appear straightforward and highly readable, matching the same geometric, no-nonsense styling.
