A slanted sans with smooth, rounded curves and a steady, even stroke. Proportions are slightly narrow-to-standard with a tall lowercase structure and compact extenders, creating a dense, efficient line while remaining legible. Counters are generally open and circular forms (C, O, Q, 0) read as clean ellipses; diagonals in A, K, V, W, X, Y are crisp and consistent. Terminals are mostly softly finished rather than sharply flared, and the overall rhythm is uniform with modest modulation driven mainly by joins and curves.
Works well for interface typography, product copy, and general editorial settings where a slanted sans can add emphasis without sacrificing clarity. It can also serve in branding and marketing headlines that benefit from a modern, energetic voice, and in functional signage or wayfinding where open shapes and consistent rhythm help quick recognition.
The overall tone feels contemporary and straightforward, with an energetic forward motion from the slant. It reads approachable rather than technical—clean and practical, but not cold—making it suitable for everyday communication with a subtle sense of speed.
Designed to provide a neutral, contemporary sans voice with built-in emphasis through a consistent oblique stance. The letterforms prioritize clarity and even texture, aiming for a versatile workhorse that stays readable in continuous text while offering a dynamic, forward-leaning personality.
Numerals appear clear and familiar, with round forms for 0/8/9 and a simple, readable 1. Uppercase shapes are sturdy and geometric-leaning, while the lowercase maintains a slightly more human rhythm, especially in letters like a, e, g, and y. The italic angle is consistent across cases, supporting smooth texture in paragraphs.
