A monoline oblique sans with gently rounded, ellipse-driven curves and a consistent forward slant across capitals, lowercase, and figures. Letterforms are relatively narrow and upright in construction but lean dynamically, with smooth joins and restrained terminals. Counters are open and clear (notably in forms like e, a, and s), and the lowercase is built for legibility with a tall x-height and short extenders. The overall rhythm is even and economical, with simple geometry and minimal ornament.
It suits interface typography, dashboards, and data-forward layouts where an oblique style is needed without heavy stylization. The even color and open forms also work well for editorial sidebars, captions, and short paragraphs, and it can serve in wayfinding or informational signage where a clean slanted sans is appropriate.
The font reads as contemporary and matter-of-fact, with a subtle sense of motion from the oblique angle rather than expressive calligraphy. It feels calm and efficient—more utilitarian than playful—while remaining approachable due to its rounded curves and open shapes.
The design appears intended to provide a functional italic companion with a clear, modern sans structure—adding emphasis and hierarchy through slant while keeping stroke behavior simple and readable at smaller sizes.
Figures follow the same oblique, monoline logic and appear designed for clarity in running text, with straightforward construction and smooth curves. The punctuation and spacing in the sample text reinforce an even texture, making paragraphs look tidy and organized.
