A compact oblique sans with clean, low‑contrast strokes and softly rounded joins. Curves are built from smooth elliptical forms, producing open counters in letters like C, G, O, and e, while straight strokes stay slightly tapered by perspective from the slant rather than true contrast. Proportions are tight and economical, with short extenders and a pragmatic, legible lowercase; the dot on i/j is round and the overall rhythm is even and calm despite the italic angle. Figures are simple and lining in feel, matching the letterforms with the same restrained curvature and consistent stroke weight.
Works well where space is limited and a clean, angled emphasis is desired—UI labels, navigation, captions, charts, and compact editorial callouts. Its open forms and even texture also make it suitable for wayfinding and small-to-medium text settings where clarity matters.
The tone reads contemporary and utilitarian with a subtle sense of motion from the slant. It feels approachable rather than formal—more “everyday modern” than technical—suited to clear communication without calling attention to itself.
Likely designed as a practical oblique companion for modern interfaces and editorial systems: compact, readable, and neutral, with just enough slant to convey momentum and emphasis without becoming decorative.
Letter shapes avoid sharp calligraphic cues, leaning instead on straightforward geometry and rounded terminals. The italic construction stays steady across caps and lowercase, helping the font maintain a consistent texture in continuous text.
