A slanted sans with smooth, low-contrast strokes and broadly open counters. Curves are clean and near-monoline, while joins and terminals are cut with slightly angled, brisk endings that reinforce the italic motion. Proportions feel balanced and contemporary: capitals are wide and steady, lowercase forms stay compact and readable, and the numerals are straightforward with clear, utilitarian shapes. Spacing reads even in text, with a tidy rhythm and consistent stroke behavior across rounds and straights.
Well suited to interface labels, dashboards, and product surfaces that need a clean italic voice. It also works for brand systems, presentations, and editorial pull quotes where a contemporary, energetic emphasis is desired without sacrificing readability.
The overall tone is modern and matter-of-fact, with a subtle sense of speed from the italic slant. It feels pragmatic and contemporary rather than decorative, projecting clarity and efficiency in both display and running text.
Likely intended as a versatile italic companion for a modern sans system—providing emphasis and motion while staying restrained, legible, and consistent in texture across letters and figures.
The design favors open apertures and simple construction, keeping letterforms recognizable at a glance. Diagonals and curved strokes maintain a consistent visual color, which helps paragraphs feel stable despite the forward lean.
