A clean oblique sans with rounded, elliptical construction and smooth curves paired with crisp, tapered terminals. Proportions feel slightly extended with generous counters and open apertures, keeping shapes airy and readable. Stroke modulation is subtle but present, giving curves a refined, lightly calligraphic movement without becoming decorative. The lowercase is compact and efficient with a prominent x-height, while capitals stay streamlined and consistent, producing an even, contemporary rhythm in text.
Well-suited to editorial layouts, brand systems, and presentation typography where a clean sans with built-in emphasis is useful. The open forms and steady rhythm support short-to-medium text settings, while the oblique angle and extended feel make it effective for headings, navigation, and signage that needs to read quickly.
The overall tone is modern and purposeful, with an energetic slant that suggests speed and forward motion. Its smooth geometry and restrained detailing keep it professional and neutral, while the oblique stance adds a subtle sense of emphasis and momentum.
The design appears intended as a contemporary oblique workhorse: a neutral sans voice with enough curvature and subtle modulation to feel polished, while maintaining clarity and consistency across letters and figures.
Numerals share the same rounded logic and appear clear at display sizes, with smooth curves and stable spacing. The slant is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, which helps paragraphs maintain a cohesive, flowing texture.
