A monoline, oblique sans with broad proportions and smoothly drawn, elliptical curves. Strokes stay even throughout, with rounded terminals and gently squared joins that keep the letterforms crisp without feeling sharp. Counters are generous and the overall spacing reads open, giving the alphabet an airy rhythm. The lowercase shows a single-storey “a” and “g” with simple, functional construction, while the figures are streamlined and consistent with the same forward-leaning stance.
It suits interface labels, product branding, and short-to-medium headlines where a clean oblique voice adds energy without sacrificing readability. The open shapes and even stroke weight also work well for wayfinding and display text at a range of sizes.
The tone is contemporary and pragmatic, leaning toward a technical, performance-minded look rather than expressive or decorative. Its slant adds motion and a mild sense of speed, while the clean geometry keeps it restrained and professional.
The design appears intended as a straightforward, modern oblique sans: wide and clear for quick scanning, with geometric curves and restrained detailing to feel contemporary and system-friendly.
Round letters like O/C/G and the numerals emphasize smooth circular geometry, and diagonals (V/W/X/Y) maintain a steady angle that reinforces the italic rhythm. The forms prioritize clarity and regularity, with minimal idiosyncratic detailing.
