A slanted, monoline sans with smooth, rounded curves and cleanly cut terminals. Strokes maintain an even thickness across curves and diagonals, creating a steady rhythm and a tidy, engineered feel. The lowercase shows simple, open forms with generous counters, while capitals are straightforward and compact with consistent proportions. Overall spacing reads balanced and pragmatic, with a slightly condensed, forward-leaning posture that keeps words moving across the line.
Works well for UI copy, dashboards, product labeling, and other situations where compact, slanted sans text needs to stay legible. It also suits captions, charts, and informational layouts where a modern, unobtrusive italic voice is useful for emphasis or secondary hierarchy.
The tone is contemporary and matter-of-fact, with a subtle sense of speed from the italic slant. It feels neutral and utilitarian rather than expressive, projecting clarity and efficiency suited to interface-driven or informational contexts.
Designed to provide a streamlined italic companion with consistent geometry and even color, prioritizing clarity and continuity in text. The emphasis appears to be on a reliable, modern reading experience with minimal stylistic distraction.
Round letters like O and Q appear built from near-elliptical geometry, reinforcing the font’s smooth, constructed look. Diagonals (such as in V, W, and Y) feel firm and stable, and punctuation and numerals match the same clean, uniform stroke logic for a cohesive texture in running text.
