This typeface is a slanted, monoline sans with a largely geometric skeleton and rounded curves. Strokes stay even and smooth, with crisp terminals and minimal modulation, giving the letters a clean, engineered feel. Uppercase forms are simple and spacious with circular O/Q and open C/G, while lowercase maintains clear, compact shapes with single-storey a and g, a rounded i dot, and an r with a short, tidy shoulder. Numerals follow the same rational construction, with clear, open counters and consistent stroke behavior across the set.
It works well for interfaces and product design where a clean, contemporary oblique voice is needed, and it can scale up effectively for headlines and brand statements. The even stroke and open shapes also suit short-to-medium reading text such as captions, navigation, and informational signage.
The overall tone feels modern and brisk, with the slant adding motion and a contemporary, slightly sporty energy. Its rounded geometry keeps it approachable rather than severe, balancing a technical clarity with a friendly, everyday usability.
The design appears intended as a straightforward italic companion for a geometric sans system: prioritizing consistency, legibility, and a modern rhythm while preserving an approachable softness in the curves.
The oblique angle is consistent across letters and figures, creating a cohesive rightward rhythm in text. Open apertures and generous inner counters support clarity, while the simplified forms keep the texture even in longer passages.
