A monoline sans with a consistent oblique slant and streamlined, rounded construction. Curves are drawn with smooth, near-elliptical bowls, while terminals are clean and largely unadorned, giving the design a crisp, economical silhouette. Proportions feel vertically oriented, with compact widths and generous interior counters that help keep forms open even in tighter letters. The lowercase shows simple, single-storey structures (notably the a and g), and the numerals are straightforward and evenly weighted, matching the letterforms’ restrained rhythm.
Well-suited for contemporary interface typography, compact headings, and supporting text where a clean, unobtrusive voice is needed. It can work effectively in editorial layouts for captions and subheads, and in brand systems that want a modern, efficient tone. The steady oblique rhythm also makes it a practical choice for emphasis or differentiation in navigation, diagrams, and informational design.
The overall tone is modern and understated, combining a technical clarity with a gentle, contemporary softness from its rounded shapes. The oblique angle adds motion and a subtle sense of speed without becoming expressive or calligraphic. It reads as neutral, tidy, and purposeful—more functional than decorative.
The design appears intended as a versatile oblique companion for modern sans-serif typography—prioritizing clarity, consistency, and a smooth geometric feel. Its simplified lowercase forms and clean terminals suggest an emphasis on straightforward legibility and a contemporary, system-friendly aesthetic.
Letter shapes maintain a steady, even color across lines of text, with few optical quirks, emphasizing consistency over characterful detail. The sample paragraph shows comfortable spacing and clear word shapes, suggesting the design aims for smooth, continuous reading at larger text sizes and in interface-like settings.
