A slanted, monoline sans with smooth, rounded bowls and open apertures that keep counters clear. The stroke terminals are mostly clean and slightly softened, and the curves lean toward geometric clarity while retaining a subtle humanist flow. Proportions feel balanced with moderate ascenders and descenders; the lowercase maintains a straightforward rhythm with simple, single-storey forms where expected and minimal ornamentation. Numerals are uncomplicated and readable, matching the letterforms’ even stroke and gentle curvature.
Works well for interface copy, navigation, and product labeling where a clear sans is needed but a colder, rigid feel is undesirable. The slant also makes it effective for emphasis in headlines, subheads, and promotional lines, and it should hold up in short-to-medium text blocks in print or on screen.
The overall tone is contemporary and approachable, with an energetic forward lean that suggests motion and ease. It feels neutral enough for everyday communication while still reading as casual and personable rather than strictly corporate.
Designed to deliver a practical, legible sans with a built-in sense of motion via its consistent slant, aiming for versatility across display and text contexts while keeping forms simple and contemporary.
In the sample text, the oblique angle remains consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures, producing a cohesive typographic color. Rounded shapes like O, C, and e stay open and clean at text sizes, supporting legibility in continuous reading.
