A slanted sans with a restrained, monoline construction and gently rounded corners. Curves are smooth and fairly geometric, with round bowls (o, O, 0, 8) and clean joins that keep texture even across words. Counters are open and the forms avoid decorative terminals, while diagonals (A, V, W, X, Y) read crisp and consistent. Numerals follow the same streamlined logic, with simple, open shapes and clear differentiation in running text.
Well-suited to interface typography, dashboards, and informational graphics where a clean slanted voice helps emphasize hierarchy. It also fits contemporary branding and editorial layouts that want a modern sans italic for pull quotes, subheads, and short paragraphs, and it remains clear enough for wayfinding-style signage at moderate sizes.
The overall tone is contemporary and utilitarian, with an efficient, forward-leaning energy from the slant. It feels neutral and professional rather than expressive, projecting clarity and motion without becoming flashy or informal.
The design appears intended as a practical italic companion with a geometric, no-frills construction, prioritizing consistent rhythm and legibility while adding a subtle sense of forward motion.
The italic angle is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, producing a cohesive rhythm in paragraphs. Round letters maintain a stable, circular feel while straight-sided forms stay compact and tidy, creating a balanced, readable texture.
