A clean, oblique sans with monoline strokes and softly geometric construction. Curves are smooth and fairly round, with open apertures and generous counters that keep the texture light in longer lines. Terminals are crisp and unadorned, and the overall rhythm is even, with a forward-leaning stance that adds motion without becoming calligraphic. Numerals follow the same straightforward, rounded logic and match the text color well.
Well-suited to interface typography, dashboards, and product materials where clarity and a contemporary tone are needed. The oblique stance also works for emphasis in editorial layouts, slide decks, and infographics, and can support brand systems that want a modern sans with a subtle dynamic feel.
The overall tone is modern and matter-of-fact, with a subtle sense of speed from the slant. It feels contemporary and utilitarian rather than expressive, making it read as confident, clear, and workmanlike.
Designed to provide a neutral, contemporary sans foundation in an italicized voice, prioritizing clean outlines, open forms, and consistent rhythm for reliable readability across short labels and longer passages.
The italic angle is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, producing a cohesive flow in paragraphs. Round letters like O/C/G and the smooth bowls in B/P/R emphasize a geometric sensibility, while the restrained stroke behavior keeps the face calm and predictable in use.
