A slanted, clean-lined sans with smoothly rounded curves and a calm, even stroke rhythm. Forms are slightly humanist in feel, mixing oval bowls with gently tapered joins and open apertures for clear counters. Terminals are mostly smooth and uncluttered, keeping silhouettes crisp while the italic angle adds motion. Uppercase proportions feel compact and efficient, while the lowercase maintains a steady x-height with clear differentiation between similar shapes across letters and figures.
Well-suited to interface labels, navigation, and short-to-medium text where an italic emphasis is desired without sacrificing clarity. It also works effectively for branding, marketing headlines, and editorial callouts that benefit from a contemporary, kinetic slant.
The overall tone is modern and businesslike, with a subtle sense of speed from the consistent slant. It reads as confident and functional rather than decorative, offering a contemporary voice that still feels approachable.
The font appears designed as a practical italic sans for everyday communication—prioritizing legibility and consistency while adding a streamlined, dynamic posture for emphasis and modern tone.
The design balances roundness with firm diagonals, giving letters like A, V, W, and X a sharp, directional presence without becoming aggressive. Numerals follow the same italic logic and curve language, helping mixed text (including data) stay visually cohesive.
