A slanted, monoline sans with smooth, geometric construction and gently rounded joins. Strokes maintain an even rhythm with modest contrast and a consistent oblique angle across caps, lowercase, and figures. Curved letters lean on circular and elliptical bowls (notably in O, C, e), while diagonals (V, W, X, Y) stay sharp and tidy. Lowercase forms are compact and clear, with open apertures and straightforward terminals that keep the texture even in running text. Numerals follow the same sleek, slightly condensed feel, with simple curves and clean endings that align well with the alphabetic style.
Well-suited for interface labels, product and technology branding, and clean marketing typography where a modern italic accent is needed. It also works for headings, pull quotes, and short-to-medium editorial text, especially when you want forward-leaning emphasis while retaining a crisp, neutral sans voice.
The overall tone is contemporary and understated, with a streamlined, slightly technical feel. Its oblique stance adds motion and emphasis without becoming expressive or calligraphic, making it feel efficient, modern, and quietly confident rather than decorative.
Likely designed as a practical oblique companion to a geometric sans, providing a fast, contemporary emphasis style with consistent structure across letters and numerals. The emphasis is on smooth geometry, even color in text, and broad usability for modern graphic and digital contexts.
Spacing appears generous enough to keep the italic texture from clumping, and the consistent slant gives paragraphs a coherent forward flow. The design favors clarity over personality, with minimal idiosyncrasies and a uniform, engineered look across glyphs.
