A clean oblique sans with broadly proportioned letterforms and a smooth, low-contrast stroke. Curves are round and even, with open apertures and generous counters that keep shapes clear at a glance. Terminals are crisp and unadorned, and the overall rhythm feels steady and slightly forward-leaning. Numerals follow the same straightforward construction, with simple, readable forms and consistent stroke behavior.
Works well for interface labels, short paragraphs, and information design where a clean oblique emphasis is needed without sacrificing legibility. The broad proportions and open forms also suit headlines, posters, and brand systems that want a modern, kinetic slant.
The overall tone is energetic and contemporary, with a forward motion that reads as sporty and purposeful. It feels neutral and utilitarian rather than expressive, aiming for clarity and pace over personality-driven detail.
Likely designed as a practical oblique companion for a neutral sans system, providing a clear italicized voice for emphasis while keeping forms geometric and highly legible. The construction prioritizes consistency and readability across text and numerals, suggesting everyday editorial and UI utility.
Spacing appears comfortable and not tight, supporting readable word shapes in running text. The oblique angle is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures, giving the font a unified, fast-paced texture without introducing calligraphic stress.
