A slanted, monolinear sans with smooth curves and open apertures. The forms lean consistently to the right, with rounded bowls and clean terminals that keep the texture even in running text. Capitals are simple and geometric-leaning, while the lowercase shows a more humanist rhythm with clear counters; the overall spacing reads a bit generous, helping maintain clarity at smaller sizes. Numerals follow the same streamlined construction, favoring simple, open shapes over decorative detail.
Works well for UI and product copy where a slanted sans can add emphasis while remaining highly readable. It also fits editorial subheads, pull quotes, and presentation decks that benefit from a clean, contemporary italic voice. The open shapes and even texture make it a practical choice for captions and secondary brand typography.
The overall tone is contemporary and approachable, combining a calm, editorial polish with a subtle forward-motion energy from the slant. It feels professional without becoming rigid, making it suitable for interfaces and modern brand systems that want a light, unobtrusive voice.
Designed to provide a clear, modern oblique companion for everyday typography—prioritizing smooth geometry, consistent rhythm, and straightforward letterforms that stay legible in continuous text.
Curved letters like C, O, and S appear smoothly drawn and consistent, while diagonals in A, V, W, and X stay crisp and uncluttered. The sample text shows a steady rhythm line-to-line, with the italic angle providing emphasis without looking overly calligraphic.
