A slanted, monoline sans with smooth curves and lightly squared terminals, balancing geometric construction with humanist modulation. Uppercase forms are broad and stable with generous internal space (notably in C, G, O, and Q), while diagonals in A, K, V, W, X, Y read crisp and consistent. Lowercase shows open apertures and simple, functional joins, with a single-storey a and g, a compact shoulder on r, and a clean, straight-stemmed t. Numerals are clear and evenly proportioned, with rounded bowls and straightforward diagonal/straight strokes that keep spacing and rhythm even in text.
Works well for UI text, navigation, and labeling where a subtle forward-leaning emphasis is helpful without resorting to bold weight. It also suits contemporary editorial layouts, corporate communications, wayfinding/signage, and tech-oriented branding that benefits from a clean, efficient typographic tone.
The overall tone is contemporary and no-nonsense, with a calm, utilitarian character suited to interfaces and informational design. The oblique stance adds momentum and a mild sense of speed without becoming expressive or decorative, keeping the voice professional and restrained.
Likely designed as a practical oblique sans optimized for clear reading and steady texture, providing a built-in sense of emphasis and motion while maintaining a neutral, modern baseline. The letterforms prioritize open shapes, consistent stroke behavior, and reliable spacing for everyday display and text applications.
Counters remain open and legible at text sizes, and the slant is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, helping mixed-case settings feel cohesive. The shapes avoid sharp calligraphic cues, instead relying on tidy curves and disciplined diagonals for clarity.
