A monoline, oblique sans with smooth, rounded bowls and consistently tapered terminals that read as clean and engineered rather than calligraphic. Curves are built from near-circular geometry, while diagonals (A, V, W, Y, k) are crisp and give the face a forward-leaning rhythm. Counters are generally open and uncluttered, and the overall proportions skew compact vertically with relatively small lowercase bodies, supporting a tight, controlled texture in lines of text. Numerals follow the same slanted, streamlined construction, with simple, legible forms and minimal modulation.
Works well for interface labels, dashboards, and data-heavy layouts where a clean, unobtrusive italic voice is needed. It can also serve in captions and technical documentation, and scales up neatly for concise headlines or callouts that benefit from a sense of motion without added ornament.
The overall tone is contemporary and matter-of-fact, with a brisk, forward motion from the oblique stance. It feels practical and precise—more “interface/engineering” than expressive—while still staying approachable due to its rounded construction and restrained details.
Likely intended as a neutral, modern oblique sans for general-purpose communication—providing emphasis and forward momentum while maintaining clarity, consistency, and a compact text texture.
The slant is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures, and the spacing appears even enough to keep paragraphs from looking jittery. The design relies on simple geometry and clear joins, producing a uniform color that stays stable across mixed-case text and numbers.
