A slanted sans with smooth, rounded construction and evenly weighted strokes throughout. The forms are compact and space-efficient, with modest apertures and tightly controlled bowls that keep counters clear without feeling open. Curves stay clean and continuous, while terminals are plain and unadorned, emphasizing a straightforward, contemporary silhouette. Overall rhythm is steady and consistent, with a slightly condensed feel that supports dense settings and narrow columns.
Well-suited to interface text, labeling, and compact typography where horizontal space is limited and a clean oblique emphasis is needed. It also works for headlines in editorial or corporate materials when a contemporary, kinetic voice is desired without heavy stylization.
The italic angle gives the face a forward-moving, energetic tone while the restrained shapes keep it composed and professional. It reads as modern and functional rather than expressive or decorative, suggesting speed, clarity, and efficiency.
Likely designed as a practical oblique companion for modern sans typography, prioritizing compact proportions, consistent stroke color, and a smooth, contemporary drawing style for clear everyday use.
Uppercase proportions feel tall and streamlined, and round letters maintain a stable, near-elliptical geometry. Numerals match the same pared-back construction, with simple curves and uniform stroke behavior that aligns well with the letterforms.
