A slanted, monolinear sans with broad proportions and a smooth, round construction. Curves are drawn with clean circular logic and open counters, while straight strokes stay crisp with softly rounded joins and terminals. The italic angle is pronounced, giving the alphabet a forward rhythm; diagonals (as in V, W, X, and Y) are long and clean, and the numerals follow the same streamlined geometry with open, readable forms. Overall spacing feels generous, supporting a light, airy texture in both the grid and paragraph setting.
Well suited to branding and identity work that wants a clean, modern slant, as well as editorial headlines and subheads where the wide proportions can breathe. It can also perform nicely in posters, packaging, and short advertising lines where an airy, forward-leaning texture helps create pace and sophistication.
The design reads as sleek and contemporary, with an understated elegance rather than loud personality. Its strong slant adds motion and a mildly technical, progressive tone, while the open forms keep it approachable and clear.
The font appears designed to deliver a contemporary italic voice built from simple geometric forms, prioritizing smooth rhythm and clarity over ornament. Its wide stance and open counters suggest an intention to stay legible while adding motion and a refined, modern tone.
Lowercase shapes maintain a consistent, simplified structure with minimal gesture, and punctuation in the sample text blends in quietly without calling attention to itself. The combination of wide letterforms and an energetic italic angle creates a distinctive horizontal flow that looks especially smooth in longer lines.
