A slanted, monolinear sans with geometric construction and softly rounded curves. Strokes stay even throughout, with clean joins and minimal modulation, giving the letterforms a smooth, engineered feel. Proportions are moderately compact with a steady rhythm; counters are open and the curves (notably in C, G, O, and S) read as circular/elliptical rather than calligraphic. Numerals follow the same oblique, streamlined logic, with simple, legible shapes and consistent stroke weight.
Works well for interface typography, product and tech branding, dashboards, and informational graphics where a crisp, modern italic voice is needed. It also suits short headlines, labels, and wayfinding-style applications thanks to its open forms and steady, even color in paragraphs.
The overall tone is contemporary and pragmatic, with a forward-leaning, energetic posture. It feels functional and no-nonsense rather than decorative, suggesting speed, clarity, and a slightly tech-oriented polish.
Designed to provide a clean, contemporary italic sans that maintains geometric clarity and consistent texture in both display and text settings. The emphasis is on straightforward legibility, smooth curves, and a dynamic slant suitable for modern communication.
The italic angle is pronounced enough to signal emphasis while remaining controlled and consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures. Rounded terminals and smooth curvature help keep the texture even in longer text, avoiding sharp or aggressive edges.
