A slanted, monoline sans with rounded curves and a steady, even rhythm. Letterforms are built from simple geometric arcs and straight strokes, with open apertures and smooth joins that keep counters clear. The italics are constructed rather than calligraphic: strokes maintain consistent thickness, terminals read clean and blunt, and curves stay tidy and controlled. Uppercase proportions feel compact and slightly forward-leaning, while the lowercase keeps a straightforward, utilitarian structure with single-storey forms where expected and minimal ornament.
Works well for interface labels, navigation, and short-to-medium text where an italicized voice is desired without sacrificing clarity. It also suits sporty or tech-leaning branding, headlines, posters, and wayfinding where a clean, forward-leaning sans can add motion and emphasis.
The overall tone is contemporary and energetic, with a forward motion that feels sporty and efficient. It reads as clean and practical rather than expressive or traditional, giving text a brisk, modern cadence.
Likely designed as a pragmatic italic sans: a clean, contemporary companion for emphasis and directional energy, while keeping the structure simple and legible for everyday display and informational use.
Numerals follow the same oblique construction, with rounded bowls and clear silhouettes that hold up well in fast scanning. The design maintains consistent spacing and a uniform texture across lines, helping paragraphs look even despite the strong slant.
