A monoline sans with a consistent oblique slant and broad, rounded construction. Curves are drawn with smooth, elliptical bowls and open apertures, while joins stay clean and minimal. Proportions feel expansive horizontally, with long strokes and wide capitals; lowercase forms are similarly open and evenly weighted. Terminals are crisp and understated, and the overall rhythm reads calm and regular, supported by generous internal space and clear counters.
Best suited to display settings where its wide, airy forms can breathe—brand wordmarks, headlines, posters, and motion graphics. It can also work for short UI labels and editorial pull quotes where a sleek oblique voice is desired, though very small sizes may benefit from extra tracking and line spacing.
The tone is modern and understated, projecting a light, streamlined clarity rather than warmth or ornament. Its slanted stance adds motion and a mildly futuristic, transport-and-tech feel, while the wide proportions keep it relaxed and breathable.
The design appears intended to offer a clean, contemporary sans voice with a built-in sense of speed and elegance. By combining a consistent oblique angle with wide, rounded letterforms and minimal detailing, it aims for high visual clarity and a polished, modern presence in display typography.
Figures follow the same oblique, rounded logic as the letters, with simple, open forms that align well with the alphabet’s smooth geometry. The italic angle is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, giving lines of text a cohesive forward flow.
