A slanted, monoline sans with open, rounded forms and a broad stance. Curves are smooth and geometric-leaning, while straight strokes keep a consistent thickness and crisp edges. Counters are roomy and apertures stay open, supporting clarity in both uppercase and lowercase. The overall rhythm is steady and evenly spaced, with a slightly extended feel and a forward-leaning posture that adds motion without becoming calligraphic.
Well suited to branding systems and editorial headlines that want a modern, forward-leaning voice. The open shapes and even stroke make it a strong option for UI labels and navigation, while the wide proportions help short titles and signage hold presence at a distance. It also performs well for emphasis within text when used selectively as an italic display style.
The italic angle gives the face an energetic, contemporary tone—confident and efficient rather than expressive. Its clean construction reads as modern and utilitarian, with enough softness in the curves to feel friendly and accessible.
Likely drawn to provide a straightforward, contemporary italic sans that feels quick and purposeful while staying neutral and highly legible. The design appears focused on consistent geometry, open counters, and a stable typographic color for clean display and interface scenarios.
Numerals match the same slanted, streamlined construction and maintain consistent weight with the letters. Uppercase shapes stay simple and architectural, while lowercase forms remain compact and legible, with single-storey-style simplicity where visible and clear differentiation between similar characters through open shapes and spacing.
