A clean oblique sans with smooth, continuous curves and lightly modulated strokes. Letterforms are built from simple geometric skeletons, but with humanist touches in the terminals and joins that keep counters open and readable. The slant is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures, with steady spacing and a calm rhythm. Round letters stay well-controlled (O, C, e), while diagonals and joins (K, V, W, y) are sharp and concise, giving the face a crisp, contemporary texture.
Works well for interface typography, product and corporate communications, and editorial layouts where an italic voice is needed without becoming calligraphic. Its clear forms and consistent slant make it suitable for captions, pull quotes, navigation labels, and general-purpose display lines at moderate sizes.
The overall tone is straightforward and modern, balancing neutrality with a subtle sense of forward motion from the oblique stance. It reads as practical and businesslike rather than decorative, with enough warmth to feel approachable in everyday UI and editorial settings.
Designed to provide a neutral, modern oblique companion for general typography—prioritizing clarity, consistency, and a contemporary sans texture while remaining unobtrusive in continuous reading.
Capitals appear relatively tall and compact, with simple construction and minimal detailing. Lowercase forms maintain open apertures and clear differentiation between similar shapes (e.g., i/j/l), and the numerals have a clean, functional feel suited to mixed text-and-data contexts.
