A clean oblique sans with smooth, rounded bowls and consistently low stroke modulation. The letterforms lean forward with a steady slant and a clear, even rhythm, while counters stay open and proportions remain balanced. Terminals are crisp and largely straight-cut, with simple, utilitarian joins and minimal flourish. Numerals follow the same restrained, rounded construction, keeping the overall color even and readable across mixed text.
Well-suited for interface copy, labels, and informational text where a forward-leaning emphasis is useful without sacrificing clarity. It also fits contemporary branding systems, wayfinding, and presentation typography that benefits from a clean, modern sans with an energetic slant.
The overall tone feels modern and efficient, with a subtle sense of motion from the oblique angle. It reads as neutral and professional rather than expressive, lending a contemporary, workmanlike character suitable for straightforward communication.
Likely designed as a pragmatic oblique companion for a contemporary sans system—adding emphasis and motion while preserving straightforward construction, uniform texture, and dependable legibility in both display and text sizes.
Uppercase shapes are simple and geometric-leaning, while lowercase forms maintain clarity through generous apertures and uncomplicated stroke endings. The italic construction is consistent across letters and figures, which helps maintain cohesion in continuous reading and in alphanumeric settings.
