A slanted sans with a smooth, rounded construction and consistently clean outlines. Curves are drawn with an even, steady stroke and generous apertures, giving counters an open, breathable feel. Proportions lean slightly narrow and upright in spirit despite the italic slant, with uncomplicated terminals and minimal detailing. Figures follow the same restrained, round logic, reading clearly with simple shapes and balanced spacing.
Works well for interface labels, dashboards, and product typography where a subtle slant can distinguish secondary emphasis or navigation states. It also suits editorial pull quotes, short paragraphs, and corporate communications that need a modern, clean tone without overt stylization. The clear figures and open forms make it a solid option for captions, charts, and presentation typography.
The overall tone is contemporary and understated, with a calm, efficient rhythm. Its oblique stance adds motion and emphasis without feeling expressive or decorative, keeping the voice professional and neutral. The result feels suitable for straightforward communication where clarity and polish are more important than personality.
Likely designed as a practical italic companion for contemporary sans typography, prioritizing legibility, clean geometry, and a controlled rhythm in running text. The restrained forms suggest an emphasis on versatile, system-friendly use across print and digital layouts.
Round letters like C, O, and Q read as smooth ellipses, while joins and diagonals (in letters such as N, V, W, and Y) stay crisp and controlled. The lowercase shows a pragmatic, modern italic behavior, maintaining clear differentiation between similar forms and a consistent, unshowy texture in text.
