A slanted, monoline sans with smooth curves and open, straightforward construction. Proportions are moderately wide with generous sidebearings, giving the alphabet an airy rhythm. Strokes remain even through curves and joins, with rounded terminals and calm, consistent geometry. Uppercase forms are simple and legible; lowercase shows a slightly more humanist feel with open counters and a clear, readable skeleton.
Works well for interface typography, captions, and short-to-medium editorial text where a slanted emphasis is desired without sacrificing clarity. It can also support modern branding systems and presentation typography that benefit from a clean, forward-leaning sans.
The overall tone is crisp and contemporary, with a restrained, matter-of-fact voice rather than expressive flair. Its italic angle adds motion and a mild sense of emphasis while staying professional and controlled.
Likely designed as a versatile italic companion for contemporary sans typography, prioritizing clarity, consistency, and a smooth reading rhythm while providing built-in emphasis through slant.
Numerals are clean and uncomplicated, matching the letterforms’ even stroke and rounded handling. The sample text holds together smoothly in longer lines, with consistent spacing that supports a steady reading texture.
