A slanted sans with clean, geometric construction and smooth, rounded curves. Strokes stay consistent in thickness with crisp terminals and a generally closed, controlled rhythm. Uppercase forms are slightly condensed with broad curves (notably in C/G/O) and firm verticals, while lowercase shows a straightforward, contemporary skeleton with a single-storey a and a compact, utilitarian feel. Numerals follow the same oblique stance and even stroke weight, reading clearly with simple, stable shapes.
Works well wherever a clean, contemporary italic is needed: interface labels, navigation and wayfinding, product packaging, and brand systems that want subtle motion without high contrast or ornament. It also suits editorial sidebars, captions, and callouts where an oblique sans can add emphasis while staying restrained.
The overall tone is modern and purposeful, with an energetic forward lean that suggests motion and efficiency. It feels neutral and professional rather than expressive, leaning toward a practical, engineered character.
Likely designed as a pragmatic, contemporary oblique sans for clear communication with a sense of speed. The consistent stroke weight and geometric curves point to a focus on reliable reproduction across sizes and contexts.
The italic angle is consistent across letters and figures, giving lines a cohesive rightward momentum. Counters remain fairly open for an oblique style, which helps maintain clarity in text and UI-like settings.
