A smooth oblique sans with rounded, continuous curves and consistently blunt terminals. Letterforms lean with an even, low-contrast stroke and a slightly geometric construction: round counters, open apertures, and simple joins. Proportions are compact and steady, with clear spacing and a straightforward rhythm that stays legible in text. Numerals follow the same slanted, streamlined logic, keeping curves and diagonals crisp and uncluttered.
Well-suited for interface and product typography where a clean italic voice is needed for emphasis, as well as contemporary editorial layouts and corporate communications. It can also work for branding systems and presentation materials that benefit from a modern, forward-leaning tone, and for signage where simple shapes and open counters help readability.
The overall tone is calm, contemporary, and matter-of-fact. Its slant adds momentum without becoming expressive or calligraphic, giving a subtle sense of speed and efficiency while remaining neutral and professional.
Likely intended as a pragmatic oblique companion for a modern sans system—providing clear hierarchy and emphasis while preserving a restrained, functional aesthetic. The design prioritizes smooth geometry and consistent rhythm to stay readable across short labels and longer text settings.
The italic angle is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, and the forms avoid decorative quirks in favor of predictable, repeatable shapes. Rounded forms (C, O, Q, 8) read especially smooth, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y, 7) feel taut and clean, supporting a cohesive, engineered look.
