A slanted, monoline sans with smoothly rounded curves and crisp, clean terminals. Uppercase forms are simple and geometric with generous apertures (notably in C, G, and S), while the lowercase shows a single-storey a and g and a compact, looped e. The italic construction reads as an oblique-style lean rather than calligraphic, keeping stroke modulation minimal and shapes consistent. Numerals are straightforward and highly legible, with rounded bowls and stable proportions that match the alphabet’s geometric rhythm.
This font suits interfaces, dashboards, and product typography where a clean italic is needed for emphasis without losing clarity. It also works well in editorial subheads, pull quotes, and infographics thanks to its consistent stroke weight and open letterforms. The straightforward numerals make it a solid choice for data-rich layouts and light signage.
The overall tone is contemporary and practical, with a brisk forward motion from the italic angle. It feels neutral and workmanlike rather than expressive, while still coming across approachable due to the rounded geometry and open counters.
The design appears intended as a neutral, modern italic companion with geometric construction and dependable readability. Its restrained details and consistent rhythm suggest a focus on versatile everyday typography rather than decorative personality.
Spacing appears even and restrained, supporting a steady texture in running text. The diagonal strokes (K, V, W, X, Y) look firm and decisive, and the circular letters (O, Q, o) keep a clean, nearly symmetrical feel that reinforces the font’s geometric character.
