A clean oblique sans with rounded, gently squared curves and smooth, low-contrast strokes. The italic is formed by a consistent shear rather than calligraphic modulation, keeping counters and bowls fairly geometric and open. Terminals are mostly plain and slightly softened, with straightforward joins and a steady baseline rhythm. Proportions feel balanced with moderate ascenders/descenders and a normal x-height, while letter widths vary enough to create a natural, readable texture.
Well-suited for interface typography, informational graphics, and editorial subheads where an oblique voice is needed for emphasis while maintaining clarity. It also works for captions and short to medium blocks of text, and for branding or packaging that calls for a modern, understated italic sans.
The overall tone is modern and pragmatic, with a calm neutrality that reads as contemporary and efficient. Its slanted stance adds a subtle sense of motion and emphasis without becoming expressive or decorative.
Likely designed as a versatile oblique companion to a neutral sans system, prioritizing legibility and consistent texture across mixed-case text and numerals. The emphasis appears to be on a contemporary, no-nonsense look that performs reliably in both display and text settings.
In the sample text, the oblique angle remains consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, producing an even, cohesive texture in paragraphs. Circular characters (like O/0) stay smooth and stable, while diagonals (V/W/X/Y) look crisp and clean at display sizes.
