A clean, oblique sans with monoline construction and rounded geometry. Curves are smooth and evenly weighted, with open apertures in letters like C, e, and s, and generous counters that keep forms clear at text sizes. Terminals are mostly straight-cut and the italic is achieved through a consistent slant rather than calligraphic modulation. Uppercase proportions feel balanced and contemporary, while lowercase forms stay straightforward and utilitarian with a single-storey g and a simple, readable e. Figures are clear and round, with a distinctly open-top 4 and a plain, easily scanned 1.
Well-suited to interface typography, data-heavy layouts, and secondary text where clarity and quick scanning matter. The oblique style also works for emphasis in editorial systems, product documentation, and concise headlines without becoming overly stylized.
The overall tone is modern and matter-of-fact, leaning toward a pragmatic, UI-friendly voice rather than expressive or decorative. Its oblique stance adds a sense of motion and emphasis while still reading as controlled and professional.
The design appears intended as a dependable oblique companion for a contemporary sans system—prioritizing legibility, neutrality, and consistent geometry for everyday digital and print communication.
The rhythm is even and uncluttered, with spacing that supports continuous reading in the sample paragraph. Round letters (O, Q, 0) and diagonals (V, W, X, Y) share a consistent stroke logic, helping the set feel cohesive across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
