A slanted sans with smooth, rounded construction and low-contrast strokes. Letterforms show generous counters and open apertures, giving the face an airy, legible texture even at smaller sizes. Terminals are clean and largely straight-cut, while curves stay even and controlled; the overall rhythm is steady and contemporary. Uppercase proportions feel compact and functional, and lowercase forms maintain a straightforward, workmanlike structure with a consistent oblique angle.
This font works well for interface text, dashboards, and product copy where clarity and tempo matter. It also suits editorial subheads, presentations, and modern branding systems that want a clean italic voice without decorative flourishes.
The tone is modern and pragmatic, with an energetic slant that reads as active and forward-moving rather than formal. Its clean shapes and open interiors create a dependable, utilitarian voice suited to contemporary interfaces and communication.
The design appears intended to provide a neutral, contemporary sans with an always-on oblique posture—prioritizing clarity, consistency, and a brisk reading rhythm across letters and numerals.
Diagonal strokes (as in K, V, W, X, and the numerals) keep a crisp profile, and rounded letters like O, Q, and G remain smooth and stable without showing sharp stress. Numerals share the same slanted stance and straightforward geometry, supporting a cohesive typographic system across text and data.
