A slanted, monoline sans with rounded, geometric construction and smooth curves throughout. Strokes are even and low-contrast, with clean terminals and a slightly squared-off, engineered feel in diagonals and joins. Counters are generous and apertures stay open, supporting clarity at a range of sizes. The overall rhythm is steady and utilitarian, with crisp proportions and straightforward letterforms that read confidently in italic.
Well-suited for UI labels, dashboards, and product interfaces where an italic style is needed without sacrificing legibility. Its clean geometry and open counters also work for wayfinding, corporate or tech branding, and concise headlines or subheads. The consistent numerals make it a solid choice for data-forward layouts and specifications.
The tone is modern and purposeful, with a forward-leaning, motion-oriented italic voice. It feels contemporary and technical rather than expressive or decorative, projecting clarity, efficiency, and a mildly sporty energy.
The design appears intended as a clear, modern italic companion for a contemporary sans system—delivering motion and emphasis while maintaining a neutral, functional voice and dependable readability.
Rounded bowls and circular forms (notably in O/0/8) give the design a calm geometric base, while angled strokes in letters like A, K, V, W, and X add a sharper, more active texture. Numerals appear clear and practical, matching the same even-stroke logic and italic slant for consistent texture in mixed alphanumeric settings.
