A clean oblique sans with uniform, low-contrast strokes and softly rounded terminals. The design leans geometric, with circular bowls and open apertures, while keeping a restrained, consistent rhythm across caps and lowercase. Letterforms are slightly narrow and forward-slanted, with tidy joins and smooth curves; numerals follow the same simple, contemporary construction for a cohesive texture in running text.
Works well for UI accents, headlines, and short-to-medium editorial settings where an italic voice is needed but a clean sans texture is preferred. The consistent stroke and open shapes also make it suitable for brand systems, presentations, and contemporary poster work that benefits from a brisk, slanted tone.
The overall tone is modern and matter-of-fact, with the italic slant adding energy without becoming decorative. It feels efficient and contemporary, suited to interfaces and brands that want motion and clarity rather than warmth or nostalgia.
Likely designed as a practical oblique companion for a modern sans system, aiming to provide emphasis and motion while preserving straightforward, geometric clarity. The restrained detailing suggests a focus on versatility and consistent color in text and display contexts.
Capitals read crisp and stable, while lowercase maintains clear differentiation and steady spacing in the sample text. The oblique angle is consistent across the set, giving emphasis and forward momentum while keeping counters and silhouettes legible at larger display sizes.
