A slanted, monoline sans with open counters and gently rounded curves. Strokes stay even and clean, with a straightforward construction and minimal embellishment. The letterforms feel slightly condensed in their internal spacing while maintaining generous apertures, giving a clear rhythm in text. Terminals are simple and crisp, and the overall silhouette reads smooth and consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures.
Works well for interface typography, navigation, and short to medium passages where a brisk, clean texture is desirable. It can also suit contemporary branding and simple signage, especially when a modern sans voice is needed with a bit of motion from the slant.
The tone is modern and matter-of-fact, with a mild forward-leaning energy that adds momentum without becoming expressive or decorative. It feels professional and unobtrusive, suited to interfaces and editorial settings where clarity and pace matter.
Likely designed as a practical italic companion for a contemporary sans system, prioritizing legibility, consistency, and a smooth reading rhythm. The restrained detailing suggests an intent to stay versatile across many applications while adding subtle dynamism through the slant.
Uppercase forms are restrained and geometric-leaning, while lowercase maintains a tidy, contemporary skeleton; the single-storey-style simplicity in several shapes keeps the texture uniform. Numerals follow the same clean, slanted logic and sit comfortably alongside text, supporting a cohesive typographic color.
