A slanted sans with monoline strokes and clean, open interior spaces. Curves are smoothly drawn and fairly round, while joins stay crisp and controlled, giving the alphabet a calm rhythm. Proportions feel balanced with a straightforward, utilitarian construction; widths vary naturally across glyphs rather than locking into a strict monospace feel. Terminals are largely plain and unembellished, supporting a clear, contemporary texture in text.
Works well for UI labels, dashboards, and general product typography where an italic style is needed for emphasis. It can also serve in editorial layouts for subheads, pull quotes, and captions, delivering a clean, contemporary voice without distracting texture.
The overall tone is modern and matter-of-fact, with an unobtrusive italic energy that suggests motion without becoming expressive or calligraphic. It reads as pragmatic and professional, suited to interfaces and informational typography where clarity matters more than personality.
Likely designed as a dependable italic companion for a modern sans system—prioritizing even color, open shapes, and consistent slant to maintain readability in continuous text while clearly signaling emphasis.
The slant is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures, keeping alignment and rhythm steady in longer passages. Rounded forms (like C, O, e) stay open and legible, while straighter letters (E, F, T) maintain a tidy, engineered feel.
