A slanted, monolinear sans with crisp terminals and a taut, narrow overall fit. Strokes stay consistently light with subtle modulation, and curves are drawn cleanly with generous counters that keep the texture open. The uppercase has a streamlined, slightly condensed profile with pointed joins and minimal ornament, while the lowercase shows a simple, contemporary construction with compact bowls and clear apertures. Numerals follow the same lean, upright-italic rhythm, reading cleanly in running text.
