A slanted sans with clean, monoline construction and largely geometric curves. Round letters are built from smooth circular/elliptical forms, while straights and diagonals stay crisp and consistent in thickness. Terminals are mostly plain and open, with a straightforward, utilitarian rhythm and minimal modulation. The proportions feel balanced with a moderate x-height, compact apertures, and a steady rightward oblique that reads as an italic rather than a cursive script.
Well suited to interface typography, dashboards, and product systems where a clean italic voice is needed without added flourish. It also works for contemporary branding, headlines, and editorial emphasis, and holds up in signage or data-heavy layouts thanks to its steady stroke and straightforward forms.
The overall tone is modern and matter-of-fact, leaning toward a contemporary, technical feel rather than expressive or calligraphic. Its slant adds motion and immediacy while keeping an orderly, restrained personality.
Likely designed as a practical italic companion for modern sans typography, prioritizing consistent geometry, even texture, and clear lettershape recognition. The intent appears to be a reliable, contemporary slanted style that can add emphasis or momentum while remaining restrained and readable.
Capitals and figures maintain a stable, engineered clarity, with round counters and simple joins that keep texture even across lines. The digit set matches the letterforms in stroke consistency and curve behavior, helping the font read cohesively in mixed alphanumeric settings.
