A clean, oblique sans with softly rounded geometry and smooth, continuous curves. Strokes stay even with minimal modulation, giving the letters a steady color and clear rhythm. Forms are generally open and legible, with generous counters and uncomplicated joins; terminals tend to be gently rounded rather than sharply cut. Proportions feel balanced with a moderate x-height and straightforward capitals, while the slant adds forward motion without becoming compressed or overly stylized.
Well-suited to user interfaces, web typography, and product branding where clarity at a range of sizes matters. The oblique stance also makes it useful for emphasis in editorial layouts, navigation systems, and short headlines that benefit from added momentum without sacrificing readability.
The overall tone is contemporary and approachable, combining a businesslike clarity with a light, energetic slant. It reads as friendly and efficient rather than formal or decorative, suitable for interfaces and everyday communication where a modern voice is desired.
Designed to provide a straightforward, modern sans voice with an integrated oblique posture, prioritizing smooth curves, open shapes, and consistent stroke weight for clean reading and versatile display.
The italic angle is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and numerals, creating cohesive flow in text. Curved letters (like C, G, O, and S) appear smooth and controlled, and the numerals match the same rounded, even-stroke construction for a unified typographic color.
