A clean, oblique sans with monolinear strokes and softly rounded curves. Uppercase forms are simple and geometric, with broad circular bowls (C, O, Q) and straight, slightly tapered diagonals (V, W, Y) that keep the overall rhythm brisk. Lowercase is compact with a single-storey “a” and “g,” open counters, and restrained, utilitarian detailing; the “t” is short and the “f” has a modest hook. Figures are straightforward and legible, with rounded shapes for 0/8/9 and an angled, open-top feel to several numerals that matches the italic slant.
Well-suited to interface labels, dashboards, and product typography where an italic voice is needed without sacrificing clarity. It also works for contemporary headlines, signage, and brand accents that benefit from a clean, forward-leaning sans.
The tone is contemporary and matter-of-fact, projecting clarity and speed rather than personality-driven warmth. Its oblique stance adds forward motion and a subtle sporty/technical energy while staying neutral enough for general UI and editorial use.
Designed to provide a crisp italic companion or standalone oblique sans that reads cleanly at small sizes while retaining a modern, geometric character. The construction prioritizes consistent stroke weight, open counters, and straightforward forms for dependable legibility.
The letterforms show consistent slant and spacing with a slightly engineered feel: round shapes remain stable while diagonals carry much of the dynamism. The overall texture in text is even and readable, with smooth curves and minimal modulation that keeps color consistent across lines.
