A slanted, monoline sans with predominantly geometric construction and smooth, round counters. Curves are clean and even, terminals are generally straight-cut, and joins stay crisp without calligraphic swelling. Proportions feel balanced with a moderate x-height and slightly compact bowls, while the oblique angle adds consistent forward momentum across both cases. Numerals follow the same simplified, rounded logic, keeping a uniform rhythm and color in running text.
Well-suited to interface typography, product branding, and editorial heads where an italicized sans can add emphasis without becoming expressive. It also works for short-to-medium text in marketing materials, labels, and signage where clarity and a modern cadence are desired.
The overall tone is contemporary and efficient, with a subtle sporty energy from the consistent slant. Its restrained, even strokes and uncluttered forms read as practical and matter-of-fact rather than decorative, lending a straightforward, modern voice.
The design appears intended to provide a versatile oblique companion for contemporary sans typography—clean, evenly weighted, and optimized for a smooth reading rhythm while adding directional energy through slant rather than stroke contrast.
Round letters like C, G, O, and Q show smooth, near-circular counters, while diagonals in A, K, V, W, X, and Y are sharp and stable, reinforcing a technical feel. The lowercase maintains clear differentiation between forms, with single-storey shapes and open apertures supporting quick recognition at text sizes.
