A clean oblique sans with monolinear strokes and softly rounded curves. Letterforms are slightly narrow with open apertures and a steady, even rhythm, while terminals tend to finish with crisp angled cuts that reinforce the forward slant. Uppercase shapes stay simple and geometric, and the lowercase mixes rounded bowls with gently tapered joins for a smooth, contemporary texture. Numerals follow the same straightforward construction, with curved figures staying open and legible alongside more angular forms like 1 and 7.
Well-suited to interface copy, labels, and short-form editorial text where an italic voice is needed without becoming overly calligraphic. It can also work for contemporary branding and packaging that wants a clean, kinetic feel, and for signage or wayfinding at moderate sizes thanks to its open interiors and straightforward shapes.
The overall tone feels modern and approachable, with a subtle sense of motion from the consistent slant. It reads as utilitarian rather than decorative, but the rounded construction keeps it from feeling cold or technical.
Likely designed as a practical oblique companion for a neutral sans system, providing emphasis and momentum while preserving everyday readability. The forms prioritize consistency and clarity over stylized gestures, aiming for a dependable italic tone across display and text settings.
The oblique angle is strong enough to be clearly expressive while still maintaining a stable baseline and consistent spacing. Counters remain relatively open in letters like a, e, and s, supporting clarity in continuous text.
