A slanted sans with smooth, rounded curves and largely monolinear strokes. The overall construction is compact in the capitals with broad, open counters in letters like C, G, and S, while the lowercase shows a notably tall x-height and simple, single-storey forms (notably a and g). Terminals are clean and mostly sheared by the italic angle, giving a crisp, contemporary edge without sharp contrast. Numerals are straightforward and readable, matching the same geometric, slightly condensed rhythm and consistent stroke treatment.
Works well for interface typography, product branding, and editorial layouts where a clean sans with a lively slant is desired. The open shapes and tall lowercase improve clarity at text sizes, while the compact capitals and consistent numerals support headings, labels, and short display lines.
The tone is modern and utilitarian with a friendly, accessible feel. Its forward slant adds motion and urgency, making it feel active and contemporary rather than formal or classic.
Likely designed as a contemporary italic companion or standalone slanted sans that balances neutrality with motion. The focus appears to be on clear word shapes, even texture, and a streamlined, geometric-meets-grotesque feel suitable for modern communication.
Curves are drawn with a smooth, almost circular logic, and joins stay restrained to keep textures even in paragraphs. The italic angle is steady across letters and figures, helping maintain a cohesive rhythm in longer lines of text.
