A slender oblique sans with a consistent, uniform stroke and rounded curve behavior. Proportions are broad and evenly spaced, with a steady, linear rhythm that reads as engineered rather than calligraphic. Curves are smooth and fairly circular in O/Q/0, while diagonals in A/V/W/X/Y are crisp and straight; terminals are mostly blunt with subtle rounding at joins. Counters are open and uncomplicated, and the overall texture stays even across capitals, lowercase, and numerals.
Well suited for interfaces, dashboards, tables, and other layouts that benefit from even spacing and predictable alignment. It can also work for technical documentation, specifications, and short-form editorial elements like captions or side notes where a clean oblique emphasis is desired.
The font conveys a calm, contemporary, system-like tone—precise and utilitarian with a subtle forward-leaning dynamism. Its restrained shapes and even rhythm give it a neutral, professional voice suited to functional communication rather than expressive display.
The design appears intended to provide a streamlined oblique sans for structured, grid-based typography, prioritizing consistency, legibility, and a contemporary geometric feel. Its even spacing and restrained detailing suggest an emphasis on practical use in systematic layouts.
Uppercase forms feel simplified and geometric, and the lowercase maintains clarity with open bowls and clean single-storey-style constructions where shown. Numerals are straightforward and legible, with round figures like 0/8/9 emphasizing smooth curvature and consistent stroke weight. The sample text shows stable word shapes and a consistent slant that remains readable across longer lines.
