A very light, monolinear italic with a consistent, engineered rhythm and generous interior space. Curves are drawn with smooth, near-circular geometry, while straight strokes stay crisp and evenly weighted. Terminals are clean and largely unadorned, and the slant is steady across capitals, lowercase, and figures. The overall texture is open and quiet, with clear counters and a measured, grid-friendly cadence.
Works well where a light, orderly voice is needed: interface labels, technical documentation, tabular readouts, and code or command-line styled settings. It can also suit captions and secondary typography when you want minimal visual weight and a clean, modern tone.
The face reads as understated and contemporary, with a restrained, almost instrument-like precision. Its thin strokes and consistent slant give it a gentle forward motion without feeling expressive or calligraphic. The tone is neat, neutral, and slightly technical—more “drafting” than “display.”
Likely designed to provide a slim, highly regular italic companion for grid-based composition, emphasizing clarity, consistency, and a modern sans construction. The controlled geometry and understated detailing suggest an intention toward utilitarian readability rather than expressive display.
The sample text shows a uniform character spacing and a consistent baseline, producing an orderly, typewriter-adjacent feel while remaining distinctly sans in construction. The numerals and uppercase forms maintain the same lightness and slant as the lowercase, supporting a cohesive, even color in mixed-case settings.
