A clean oblique sans with smooth, rounded curves and consistent, low-contrast strokes. The letterforms lean with a steady rhythm and show a straightforward, contemporary construction: circular bowls, open apertures, and broadly proportioned counters that keep shapes readable. Uppercase forms are simple and geometric-leaning, while lowercase adds a slightly more humanist feel, with a single-storey “a” and “g” and a gently curved “f.” The numerals are clear and balanced, matching the letterforms’ roundness and even color.
Well-suited for interface labels, product branding, and wayfinding where a clean oblique emphasis is needed. Its steady stroke and open shapes also make it a good choice for posters, editorial subheads, and short-to-medium text passages that benefit from a modern italic voice.
The overall tone is modern and efficient, with a brisk, forward-leaning energy from the oblique stance. It feels neutral and professional rather than decorative, suggesting speed, motion, and clarity without becoming loud.
The design appears intended as a contemporary oblique companion for a sans family, prioritizing clarity and smooth geometry while adding motion and emphasis through its consistent slant. It aims to stay neutral and versatile, working across both functional typography and polished marketing applications.
Round letters like O, C, and G read very smooth and circular, reinforcing a geometric backbone, while diagonals (K, V, W, X) keep crisp joins that maintain definition at display sizes. Spacing appears even and pragmatic, supporting continuous text as well as short labels.
