A slanted sans with compact proportions and crisp, low-contrast strokes. Curves are smooth and elliptical while straight stems stay firm and evenly weighted, creating a clean, contemporary rhythm. The lowercase shows a tall x-height with short extenders, supporting dense setting, and the overall construction favors open counters and straightforward, unembellished terminals. Figures are simple and legible with consistent stroke weight and a forward-leaning stance that keeps lines moving.
Works well for interfaces, dashboards, and wayfinding where a compact, fast-reading texture is helpful. The slant and clean geometry also suit branding, sports or tech-oriented graphics, and punchy headlines, while the tall x-height supports smaller captions when space is limited.
The overall tone is contemporary and driven, with a forward-leaning posture that feels dynamic and purposeful. It reads as clear and utilitarian rather than decorative, making it suitable for messaging that wants speed, efficiency, or a modern edge.
Likely designed to deliver a streamlined, contemporary italic voice that remains practical for everyday reading. The emphasis on compact width, open shapes, and consistent stroke behavior suggests an intent to balance speed and clarity in both display and functional text settings.
Letterforms maintain a consistent slant across cases and numerals, helping mixed text feel cohesive. The caps are compact and sturdy, while the lowercase keeps an efficient footprint, giving paragraphs a tight, even texture.
