A slanted sans with monoline strokes and a smooth, geometric construction. Curves are built from clean arcs and ovals, with rounded joins and largely closed, even counters in letters like O and e. The design is fairly open in letters like C, S, and a, and the overall rhythm feels steady and uncluttered, with simple, unembellished terminals and minimal modulation. Numerals follow the same streamlined logic, mixing round forms (0, 8, 9) with straightforward diagonals and horizontals (4, 7).
Well-suited to interface labels, navigation, and information design where a clean, slanted sans can add momentum without sacrificing clarity. It also works for editorial subheads, product packaging, and contemporary brand systems that want a modern, efficient voice.
The tone reads contemporary and pragmatic, with a subtle sense of motion from the rightward slant. Its restrained detailing and consistent stroke behavior give it a matter-of-fact, professional feel rather than a decorative one.
The design appears intended as a utilitarian italic companion with a clear, geometric backbone—aiming for dependable readability in short-to-medium text while providing a gently energetic, forward-leaning emphasis.
Uppercase forms are crisp and compact, while the lowercase keeps a clear, workmanlike silhouette with a single-storey a and a straightforward g. The italic angle is consistent across letters and figures, maintaining uniform texture in longer passages.
