A slanted, monolinear sans with a broad set width and compact, economical curves. Letterforms lean consistently and keep a steady rhythm, with squared-off terminals softened by gentle rounding. Bowls and counters trend toward rounded-rectangle geometry, producing stable, even color in text. Lowercase shows a tall x-height with straightforward, utilitarian constructions, while numerals are clear and evenly proportioned for scanning.
It suits interface typography, product labeling, and informational graphics where a clean, slightly dynamic sans helps guide the eye. The open forms and steady spacing also make it a good choice for short editorial passages, captions, and contemporary brand systems that want an efficient, technical voice.
The overall tone is modern and matter-of-fact, leaning more technical than expressive. Its controlled slant adds motion and urgency without becoming calligraphic, making it feel contemporary and functional rather than decorative.
The design appears intended to provide a contemporary oblique sans with rounded-rect geometry and dependable legibility, balancing a neutral, system-like feel with just enough slant to add momentum in headlines and functional copy.
Round characters like O/C/Q and bowls in B/P/R read as superelliptical rather than purely circular, and apertures are kept open for clarity at smaller sizes. The slant is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, helping mixed text feel unified.
