A clean, oblique sans with monoline strokes and smoothly rounded counters. The drawing favors geometric construction—circular O/0 and even curves—paired with slightly squared terminals that keep edges crisp. Proportions are balanced with a moderate x-height and open apertures, while the italic slant adds forward motion without turning the forms into cursive. Spacing looks straightforward and functional, producing an even rhythm in both uppercase and lowercase.
Well-suited to interface typography, product labeling, and editorial accents where an italic voice is needed while maintaining a clean sans aesthetic. It can work for wayfinding and signage at moderate sizes, and for contemporary branding where a streamlined, forward-leaning tone is desired.
The overall tone is modern and utilitarian, with a subtle sense of speed from the consistent slant. Its neutrality and tidy geometry give it a contemporary, technical feel rather than expressive or decorative character.
Likely designed as a straightforward italic companion for a modern sans system, prioritizing clear geometry, consistent stroke behavior, and an efficient reading rhythm. The aim appears to be a pragmatic, contemporary italic that stays neutral and versatile across digital and print applications.
Numerals follow the same geometric logic as the letters, with rounded forms and simple, legible shapes suited to mixed alphanumeric settings. In text, the oblique angle is pronounced enough to read as italic, but the structure remains firmly sans and orderly.
