A slender oblique sans with smooth, monolinear strokes and gently rounded turns. Forms are built from clean arcs and straight segments, with open counters and generous interior space in letters like O, C, e, and a. The slant is consistent across cases, and the rhythm feels even and unbroken, aided by simple terminals and minimal stylistic interruption. Uppercase proportions read tidy and streamlined, while the lowercase shows long ascenders/descenders and a clear, straightforward construction (single-storey a and g), supporting an overall airy texture.
Well-suited to editorial layouts, pull quotes, and short-to-medium text where a refined oblique voice is desired without heavy styling. It can also work in brand systems, packaging copy, and interface labels that benefit from a clean, contemporary italic tone and open letterforms.
The font conveys a quiet, contemporary polish—cool and composed rather than expressive or playful. Its oblique posture adds a subtle sense of motion and sophistication while keeping an understated, editorial neutrality.
The design appears intended to provide a clear, modern oblique sans for general-purpose typography, balancing readability with a polished, slightly dynamic stance. Its simplified construction and open shapes suggest an emphasis on clean texture and versatile use in both display and text contexts.
Diagonal and joining shapes (K, V, W, X, Y) appear crisp and restrained, avoiding dramatic flares. Numerals are simple and open, matching the letterforms’ light, uncluttered geometry and maintaining a consistent typographic color in running text.
