A monoline, oblique sans with smooth, geometric curves and gently rounded joins. The letterforms lean consistently with a steady rhythm, combining circular bowls with straight, slightly tapered-looking diagonals. Counters are open and fairly generous, and terminals are clean and unembellished, keeping the texture even across mixed-case text. Numerals follow the same streamlined construction, with simple, open shapes that align visually with the letters.
Well-suited for user interfaces, product branding, and contemporary editorial layouts where a clean oblique voice is needed. It also works for signage and headings that benefit from a sleek, directional feel while retaining clear letter differentiation.
The overall tone feels modern and airy, with a purposeful, forward-leaning motion. Its restrained shapes and even color read as efficient and contemporary rather than expressive or decorative.
Likely designed to provide a neutral, modern oblique sans that remains crisp and readable, emphasizing geometric clarity and consistent rhythm in both uppercase and lowercase settings.
Capital forms are straightforward and uncluttered, while lowercase shapes maintain a consistent oblique angle and smooth continuity through curves. The sample text shows stable spacing and a calm, uniform texture that stays legible at display sizes without relying on heavy stroke emphasis.
