A slanted, monolinear sans with clean, rational construction and gently rounded curves. Strokes stay fairly even, with smooth joins and minimal modulation, giving a crisp, contemporary texture. Counters are open and shapes are simplified, with a noticeable forward lean that adds motion while keeping forms controlled. Numerals and capitals follow the same restrained geometry, reading clear at a glance and maintaining consistent rhythm across the set.
Well-suited for interface typography, dashboards, and product design where a clean italic is needed for emphasis without introducing noise. It also works for editorial callouts, pull quotes, captions, and modern branding systems that want a streamlined, contemporary voice. The clear numerals make it appropriate for data-forward layouts and informational graphics.
The overall tone is modern and businesslike, with a subtle sense of speed and momentum from the italic angle. It feels pragmatic and straightforward rather than decorative, suggesting clarity and efficiency in communication.
Designed to provide a straightforward italic companion for modern sans typography, prioritizing clarity, consistency, and a quick, energetic rhythm. The forms aim for neutral versatility with just enough slant to signal emphasis and forward motion in text.
The italic is drawn as a true slanted design rather than a mere oblique feel, with letterforms that keep their balance and spacing despite the lean. Curves stay smooth and uncluttered, and the round letters maintain a stable, even color in text.
