A slanted, geometric sans with smooth, circular bowls and clean joins. Strokes stay even and sturdy with minimal modulation, while terminals are predominantly sheared and slightly softened by the rounded construction. Proportions feel balanced and contemporary, with open apertures and straightforward counters that keep the texture clear in continuous text. The italic is built as an oblique: upright structures are simply pushed forward, giving the face a brisk, forward-leaning rhythm.
Works well for interfaces, dashboards, and product experiences that benefit from a clean, energetic italic voice. It’s also suited to contemporary branding, short headlines, and wayfinding where the oblique stance can add momentum while preserving legibility. The consistent numerals make it a solid option for data-forward layouts and specifications.
The overall tone is modern and purposeful, conveying speed and clarity rather than ornament. Its forward slant and crisp shapes read as active and pragmatic, with a subtle technical and sporty energy.
This design appears intended as a utilitarian, geometric italic companion that adds motion without sacrificing clarity. Its restrained contrast and systematic curves suggest a focus on consistency across letters and figures for modern digital and editorial use.
Round letters like O/Q show true elliptical geometry, and the Q uses a simple, angled tail that matches the general shear of terminals. Numerals follow the same geometric logic with open, legible forms and a consistent slant, maintaining an even typographic color across mixed alphanumeric settings.
