An oblique sans with monoline strokes, smooth curves, and clean, open counters. The letterforms lean consistently with a steady rhythm, combining rounded bowls with straight, sharply cut terminals that keep the texture crisp. Capitals are straightforward and geometric, while the lowercase shows compact, utilitarian shapes with single-storey-style simplicity and minimal ornamentation. Numerals match the same plainspoken construction, favoring clear silhouettes and even spacing.
Well-suited for interface labels, dashboards, and product text where a clean oblique emphasis is useful without becoming stylized. It also fits editorial subheads, presentation typography, and brand applications that want a contemporary, forward-leaning voice. The straightforward figures make it appropriate for light data, captions, and mixed alphanumeric content.
The overall tone feels modern and pragmatic, with a subtle sense of motion from the slant. It reads as efficient and contemporary rather than expressive or decorative, giving text a streamlined, businesslike character.
Likely designed as a versatile oblique companion for modern sans typography, prioritizing clarity, consistent rhythm, and a controlled slant that adds momentum without sacrificing neutrality.
The italic angle is firm enough to be immediately recognizable in paragraph settings, yet the shapes remain restrained and highly legible. Round letters maintain consistent curvature, and joins and terminals stay tidy, supporting a uniform grayscale in continuous text.
