A monoline, oblique sans with rounded construction and a gently geometric skeleton. Strokes stay consistently thin with smooth joins and minimal modulation, creating an even texture. Proportions feel compact and efficient, with tall ascenders and descenders adding vertical reach; counters are open and lightly drawn, keeping forms crisp at display sizes. Terminals are clean and unadorned, and the overall rhythm is steady and slightly right-leaning.
Best suited to branding, headlines, posters, and editorial pull quotes where a refined, modern slant is desirable. It can also work for UI labels or short informational text when set with generous size and spacing to preserve clarity at such a thin stroke weight.
The tone is modern and restrained, reading as light, crisp, and technical rather than expressive or decorative. Its slanted stance adds motion and a subtle sense of speed while remaining calm and professional.
The design appears intended to deliver a sleek, contemporary sans italic for display and interface-forward typography, prioritizing a clean outline, open counters, and a brisk forward-leaning rhythm.
Uppercase forms are straightforward and legible, with rounded curves on letters like C, G, and S and a clean diagonal in N and Z. Numerals are similarly light and open, with simple shapes that match the alphabet’s minimal, monoline character.
