A clean oblique sans with smooth, rounded curves and largely monolinear strokes. The letterforms lean consistently to the right, with open apertures and generous interior counters that keep shapes clear at text sizes. Terminals are mostly straight or gently rounded, and curves are built from near-circular bowls (notably in C, O, Q, and e), giving the design a geometric, even rhythm. Uppercase forms are compact and sturdy; lowercase shows straightforward construction with a single-storey a and g, a simple i/j with round dots, and a short-armed r. Numerals are plain and legible, with simple, open shapes and a neutral, contemporary feel.
Works well for interface typography and product or brand systems that need a modern sans with added forward emphasis. The oblique construction suits headlines, short promotional copy, and wayfinding where a sense of motion is helpful, while the open counters and simple numerals support functional text and data-adjacent uses.
The overall tone is contemporary and efficient, with the oblique slant adding motion and a mild sporty energy. Rounded geometry and open forms keep it approachable rather than technical, making it feel modern, friendly, and utilitarian.
Likely designed as a versatile oblique companion for contemporary sans typography—prioritizing clarity, neutral geometry, and a consistent forward slant to add momentum without sacrificing legibility.
Spacing appears comfortably open in the sample text, supporting readability and a smooth line texture. The stroke endings and joins stay restrained and consistent, which helps the design maintain clarity in both caps and mixed-case settings.
