A slanted, monoline sans with gently rounded curves and crisp joins, balancing geometric bowls with subtly humanist stroke modulation. Counters are open and fairly generous, with smooth, circular forms in C/G/O/Q and straightforward, uncluttered construction across the alphabet. The lowercase shows simple, single-storey forms (notably a and g), a compact, unclipped shoulder on n/m, and a descender on q that sweeps diagonally. Numerals follow the same restrained, rounded logic with clear differentiation and consistent stroke endings.
Well-suited for interface labels, dashboards, and general product typography where a clean oblique voice is helpful. It also fits corporate branding, wayfinding/signage, and presentation decks, and can serve as an unobtrusive editorial sans for headings and pull quotes.
The overall tone feels contemporary and matter-of-fact, with an understated dynamism from the slant. It reads as practical and businesslike rather than decorative, conveying clarity and speed without feeling aggressive.
The design appears aimed at providing a clear, modern oblique sans for everyday communication, combining geometric roundness with practical, readable letterforms. Its restrained detailing suggests a focus on versatility and consistent texture in running text.
The slant is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and numerals, producing a steady forward rhythm in text. Round characters stay smooth and even, while diagonals (V/W/X/Y) remain clean and sharply resolved, helping maintain legibility at display sizes and in short runs.
