A slanted sans with smooth, rounded geometry and largely monolinear strokes. Curves are built from clean circular/elliptical forms, with open apertures and generous counters that keep letters clear at display and text sizes. Terminals read mostly as straight, slightly angled cuts, and the overall rhythm is even, with consistent stroke endings and simple joins. The lowercase shows single-storey forms (notably in a and g), reinforcing a contemporary, streamlined texture.
Works well for branding and product wordmarks that benefit from a modern, friendly slant, as well as UI and marketing where quick scanning and clean shapes matter. It also suits headlines, posters, and short blocks of copy that want an energetic, contemporary emphasis without decorative complexity.
The oblique stance adds forward motion and energy, while the rounded construction keeps the tone approachable rather than severe. Overall it feels contemporary and efficient, suited to brands or interfaces that want clarity with a subtle sense of speed.
Designed to deliver a straightforward, modern sans voice with an inherent sense of motion from the slant. The rounded, geometric construction and open counters suggest an emphasis on legibility and a polished, contemporary feel across both display and text settings.
Numerals are simple and sturdy, with rounded bowls and clear interior space that matches the letterforms. The italic angle is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, producing a cohesive, unified voice in running text.
