A clean, oblique sans with geometric underpinnings and smooth, continuous curves. Strokes appear even and consistent, with rounded joins and generally squared-off terminals that keep forms crisp. Counters are open and legible, and the overall rhythm is steady, with slightly compact curves and straightforward diagonals that read clearly in both uppercase and lowercase. Numerals follow the same restrained construction, with simple shapes and uniform stroke behavior.
Works well for interface typography, product and corporate branding, and wayfinding where a modern sans voice is needed with a bit of forward-leaning energy. It also suits short to mid-length editorial use such as subheads, captions, and pull quotes, where clarity and a clean texture are priorities.
The tone is modern and matter-of-fact, leaning practical rather than expressive. Its slant adds a sense of motion and urgency while keeping a composed, professional voice that feels appropriate for contemporary interfaces and branded communication.
Designed to provide a straightforward, contemporary oblique sans that stays neutral and readable while adding a subtle sense of speed. The consistent geometry and even stroke treatment suggest a focus on clarity, reliability, and broad day-to-day usability.
The oblique angle is consistent across the set, and the letterforms maintain a disciplined, systematic feel. Round letters stay smoothly circular, while straight-sided forms keep tight alignment, creating a tidy texture in paragraphs and short lines alike.
