A lightly built oblique sans with smooth, rounded curves and a mostly monoline stroke. Letterforms are open and spacious, with generous sidebearings and broad circular bowls that keep counters clear at text sizes. Terminals are clean and largely unadorned, while joins stay crisp, creating a tidy rhythm despite the slant. The overall drawing leans geometric but keeps a subtly humanist feel in the lowercase shapes and their soft transitions.
It suits interface typography, dashboards, and product experiences where a clean oblique can provide emphasis without switching styles. The open counters and broad proportions also work well for contemporary branding, slide decks, and editorial subheads, and it remains clear enough for short signage and labels.
The tone is contemporary and approachable, combining a crisp, engineered clarity with an easy, conversational slant. It reads calm and unobtrusive, suggesting speed and modernity without feeling aggressive.
The design appears intended to deliver a streamlined, modern sans voice with an integrated oblique posture—prioritizing clarity, smooth rhythm, and a friendly neutrality for everyday communication.
The figures match the same airy construction and curved logic as the letters, giving numerals a consistent, signage-friendly presence. The italic angle is steady across the set, and the round letters (C, O, Q, e) show consistent curvature and open apertures that support legibility in running text.
