A slanted, monolinear sans with smooth, rounded curves and crisp terminals. The design leans geometric, with circular bowls and open counters that keep forms clear even at smaller sizes. Uppercase shapes are straightforward and evenly proportioned, while lowercase has a compact rhythm with a single-storey “a” and “g” that reinforce the contemporary, utilitarian feel. Numerals are simple and highly legible, matching the letterforms’ consistent stroke behavior and minimal detailing.
This font suits contemporary interfaces, wayfinding, and informational design where a clean oblique voice is useful for emphasis. It also works well in branding, headlines, and posters that benefit from a brisk, modern slant without introducing high-contrast or ornamental features.
The overall tone is modern and forward-leaning, with an energetic, in-motion character typical of oblique sans styles. It reads as practical and no-nonsense rather than decorative, projecting clarity and efficiency with a slightly sporty edge.
The design appears intended to provide a clear, modern oblique sans with dependable legibility and a neutral geometric structure, offering motion and emphasis while remaining restrained and versatile.
The italic slant is applied consistently across caps, lowercase, and figures, producing a cohesive rightward flow in text. Round letters maintain generous internal space, and curved joins stay smooth, avoiding sharp calligraphic modulation.
