A rounded, geometric sans with an oblique slant and smooth, continuous curves. Strokes stay largely uniform, with open apertures and generous interior counters that keep forms airy. Uppercase shapes are simple and streamlined, while lowercase shows single‑storey constructions (notably a and g) and a compact, tidy rhythm. Terminals are clean and mostly sheared/angled rather than bracketed, reinforcing a crisp, contemporary texture.
Well-suited to contemporary interface and product typography where a clean, forward-leaning voice is desirable. The open counters and rounded geometry support readability in short-to-medium text, while the slanted stance makes it effective for headlines, brand systems, and directional or informational graphics that benefit from a sense of speed and modernity.
The overall tone is modern and approachable, combining clarity with a sense of motion from the consistent slant. It feels pragmatic and tech-forward without becoming cold, thanks to the rounded construction and open forms.
Designed to deliver a contemporary oblique sans that reads cleanly while projecting motion. The geometric, rounded construction and restrained detailing suggest an intent to balance neutrality with a distinctive, energetic posture for modern communication contexts.
The figures are clear and straightforward, leaning toward simple geometric silhouettes with minimal detailing. Letterforms maintain a consistent forward-leaning momentum across both display sizes and text settings, and the spacing reads even and controlled in the sample paragraph.
