A clean oblique sans with monoline strokes and smoothly rounded curves. The letterforms show open apertures and simple, modern construction, with a consistent rightward slant across caps and lowercase. Terminals are mostly straight and blunt, counters are clear, and curves (notably in C/O/Q and the lowercase bowls) stay geometric rather than calligraphic. Numerals follow the same oblique rhythm with clear, uncluttered shapes and even stroke weight.
Works well for interface labels, dashboards, and infographics where a clean oblique voice helps emphasize hierarchy without adding ornament. It also suits contemporary branding, packaging callouts, and short-to-medium passages in presentations or editorial sidebars where a forward-leaning sans is desired.
The overall tone is modern and matter-of-fact, with a subtle sense of speed from the consistent slant. It reads as practical and contemporary rather than expressive, lending a straightforward, utilitarian character suitable for clean visual systems.
Likely designed as a modern oblique companion for neutral sans typography—prioritizing clarity, even rhythm, and a crisp, geometric feel while adding emphasis through slant instead of weight or decoration.
In running text, the italic angle creates noticeable directional flow and a slightly compact texture, while maintaining good separation between similar shapes. Round characters stay smooth and stable, and the set retains a restrained, engineered feel rather than a handwritten one.
