A slanted, monolinear sans with smooth round joins and clean, cut terminals. Proportions are compact and consistent, with a moderate x-height and generous internal apertures that keep counters open. Curves are broadly circular (notably in C, O, S, and numerals), while diagonals (A, K, V, W, X, Y) are straight and sharply resolved, giving the design a crisp rhythm. Spacing reads even in text, and the figures appear lining with clear, simple forms and minimal ornamentation.
Well-suited to interface copy, dashboards, and product typography where an italic/oblique voice is needed while retaining clarity. It also works for editorial sidebars, captions, and pull quotes, and can serve in modern branding systems as a clean, angled companion style. The even texture and open shapes help it stay readable in paragraph settings.
The overall tone is contemporary and utilitarian, with a calm, matter-of-fact voice. The oblique stance adds motion and immediacy without becoming expressive or calligraphic, keeping the feel professional and streamlined. It suggests clarity and efficiency rather than warmth or nostalgia.
The design appears intended as a practical oblique sans that emphasizes clean geometry and dependable readability. It aims to provide a modern, streamlined italic voice with minimal stylistic distraction and consistent texture across letters and figures.
Letterforms favor straightforward geometry and legibility cues, such as open bowls and uncluttered joints. The italic angle is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and numerals, producing a cohesive texture in longer lines.
