A clean oblique sans with low stroke modulation and softly rounded curves. Letterforms are built from simple, open shapes with generous counters and clear apertures, giving an airy rhythm in text. The italic is achieved through a consistent slant and subtle calligraphic influence rather than sharp, dramatic endings; terminals stay restrained and smooth. Proportions are balanced and steady, with straightforward uppercase construction and slightly more fluid lowercase drawing that remains highly legible.
Well-suited for interface typography, dashboards, and product experiences where a clean oblique style is needed for hierarchy or emphasis. It also works for editorial subheads, captions, and contemporary branding systems that benefit from a modern, unobtrusive italic voice.
The overall tone is contemporary and matter-of-fact, leaning toward a pragmatic, system-like voice. Its slanted posture adds motion and emphasis without becoming expressive or decorative, keeping the mood professional and calm.
Likely designed as a practical oblique companion for general-purpose sans typography, prioritizing clarity, consistency, and a smooth reading rhythm while adding a subtle sense of forward motion.
In the samples, word shapes read quickly due to open forms and simple joins, while the oblique angle provides contrast for emphasis in running text. Numerals follow the same restrained geometry, matching the text color without drawing undue attention.
