A clean oblique sans with smooth, low-contrast strokes and gently rounded curves. The uppercase is straightforward and monolinear, while the lowercase shows a slightly more humanist construction with open apertures and simple, unembellished terminals. Overall proportions feel balanced and moderately compact, with counters kept open for clarity; the slant is consistent across letters and figures, giving lines a steady forward rhythm. Numerals are simple and legible, matching the letterforms in stroke weight and curvature.
Well-suited for interface labels, dashboards, and informational graphics where a slanted sans can add emphasis while staying highly readable. It also fits modern editorial layouts, presentations, and brand systems that want a clean, contemporary tone with subtle forward motion.
The font reads as modern and pragmatic, with a calm, neutral voice. Its consistent oblique angle adds motion and emphasis without feeling decorative, making it feel efficient and contemporary rather than expressive or playful.
Likely designed as a versatile oblique companion for everyday typography—providing emphasis and momentum while preserving the straightforward structure and legibility expected of a workhorse sans.
Diagonal-heavy forms like K, V, W, X, and Y appear crisp and controlled, while round letters (C, O, Q) stay smooth and evenly tensioned. The lowercase includes a single-storey a and g, reinforcing a simple, contemporary texture in running text. Spacing in the sample text looks even, supporting a tidy, uninterrupted rhythm at display and paragraph sizes.
