A geometric sans with a consistent oblique (italic) slant and smooth, low-contrast strokes. Forms lean on simple circular and elliptical construction: round letters like O and Q are near-monoline and evenly tensioned, while straight-sided letters (E, F, L, T) keep crisp, squared joins. Curves terminate with subtly rounded ends rather than sharp shears, giving the outlines a polished, contemporary feel. Proportions are balanced with open apertures (notably in C, G, S) and clear counters; numerals follow the same geometric logic with broad, stable shapes and a single-storey, rounded “0–9” set that reads cleanly at display sizes.
Well suited to interface labels, product branding, and contemporary editorial layouts where a clean italic voice is needed without calligraphic flair. It also works for signage and presentation typography that benefits from crisp geometric shapes and a forward-leaning emphasis.
The overall tone is modern and matter-of-fact, with a slightly energetic, forward-leaning posture from the slant. Its restrained construction and even rhythm feel professional and functional rather than expressive, lending a contemporary, tech-adjacent character without becoming sterile.
Likely designed as a straightforward geometric italic companion for modern sans typography, prioritizing clarity, consistency, and a contemporary rhythm across capitals, lowercase, and numerals.
Uppercase letters maintain a steady width and spacing rhythm, while lowercase shows familiar italic behavior (single-storey a and g, simplified joins, and compact shoulder shapes), keeping text cohesive in paragraphs. The slant is pronounced enough to signal emphasis but remains controlled, helping long lines stay orderly.
