A slanted, monoline sans with rounded bowls and softly finished terminals. Curves are built from clean circular/elliptical geometry, while straight strokes keep a steady rhythm, giving the alphabet a consistent, engineered feel. Counters are open and relatively generous, and the figures follow the same smooth, slightly condensed geometry, with a clear, simple construction. Overall spacing feels even and uncluttered, supporting a crisp texture in continuous text.
Works well for interface and product typography where a slanted style is needed for emphasis without becoming decorative. It also suits signage, presentations, and editorial subheads, and can support brand systems that want a clean, contemporary italic voice.
The tone is modern and straightforward, with a sense of motion from the italic slant. Rounded forms and open shapes keep it approachable rather than aggressive, making it feel contemporary and serviceable for everyday communication.
Likely intended as a practical italic companion for a geometric/neo-grotesque sans system, providing emphasis and forward motion while preserving clarity and uniform stroke behavior across letters and numbers.
Uppercase shapes stay simple and legible, while lowercase forms maintain a consistent slant and rounded structure that reads smoothly in longer passages. The overall impression is of a utilitarian italic sans designed to remain clear without calling much attention to itself.
