A clean, oblique sans with largely monoline strokes and smooth, circular curves. The uppercase set is crisp and slightly wide, with simple construction and open counters; diagonals (A, K, V, W, X, Y) read sharp and stable, while round letters (C, G, O, Q) stay evenly proportioned. Lowercase forms keep a straightforward, contemporary rhythm, with a single-storey a and g and generally open apertures that support legibility. Numerals follow the same restrained, linear approach, with uncomplicated shapes and consistent stroke behavior.
Well-suited for interface labels, navigation, and product typography where a clean italic emphasis is needed without added ornament. It also fits editorial subheads, pull quotes, and brand systems that want a contemporary, neutral sans voice with a consistent oblique texture.
The overall tone is modern and pragmatic, leaning toward a functional, contemporary voice rather than expressive or decorative. Its slanted stance adds a sense of motion and emphasis while keeping an understated, professional demeanor.
The design appears intended to deliver a straightforward italic companion for modern sans typography—prioritizing clarity, even rhythm, and a restrained geometric feel while adding emphasis through a consistent slant.
Spacing and proportions feel balanced for continuous text, with clear differentiation between similar shapes (for example, I vs. l through overall form and slant). Curves are smooth and consistent, and terminals tend to be cleanly finished without ornamental details.
