A slanted sans with linear, monoline construction and smoothly rounded curves. The outlines are clean and undecorated, with open apertures and simple, geometric bowls (notably in C, O, and e). Stroke endings are mostly straight or gently softened rather than sharply tapered, and the overall rhythm is even, with consistent stroke thickness and clear counters. The lowercase maintains straightforward, compact forms with a single-storey a and g, a tidy, narrow-shouldered r, and a simple, upright-ish spine in s that remains legible at text sizes.
Works well for interface text, labels, and informational typography where a clean oblique sans is needed for emphasis. It also suits headings, wayfinding, and brand systems that want a modern slanted voice without high-contrast drama or decorative features.
The overall tone is contemporary and practical, leaning toward a utilitarian, no-nonsense feel. Its oblique stance adds motion and urgency without becoming expressive or calligraphic, giving it a subtle sense of speed and modernity while staying restrained.
Likely designed as a versatile oblique companion for contemporary sans typography, providing emphasis and forward motion while preserving clarity and straightforward forms. The design prioritizes clean geometry, dependable readability, and consistent rhythm across letters and numbers.
Numerals are clear and functional, with a rounded 0 and straightforward, easily distinguishable shapes for 1–9. The uppercase shows confident, simplified geometry (e.g., a direct, angular K and V/W construction), and spacing appears balanced for continuous reading in the sample text.
