A monoline, oblique sans with smooth, rounded construction and consistently low stroke modulation. Curves are broadly circular and open, while straight strokes keep a steady rhythm with gently tapered joins and minimal fuss. The capitals are simple and upright in structure but slanted overall, with ample interior space (notably in C, O, Q) and clear, unembellished terminals. Lowercase forms follow a single-storey approach for a and g, with compact bowls and short, clean shoulders; the numerals are similarly rounded and evenly weighted, keeping a cohesive texture across mixed content.
Works well for interface copy, product branding, and general-purpose editorial typography where a clean sans voice with added motion is desirable. The open counters and steady stroke weight also suit short headlines, labels, and wayfinding-style applications that benefit from quick recognition at a glance.
The overall tone feels contemporary and approachable, combining a slight forward slant with soft curves that read as energetic without becoming expressive or decorative. It suggests a practical, modern sensibility—more personable than rigidly geometric, but still crisp and orderly.
Likely designed as a versatile oblique sans for everyday communication, aiming for clarity and neutrality while adding a subtle sense of speed and modernity through the consistent slant and rounded geometry.
The slant is consistent across letters and figures, producing a lively horizontal flow in text. Spacing appears moderate, helping lines stay open and legible while maintaining a smooth, continuous rhythm typical of oblique sans designs.
