A slanted, linear sans with streamlined letterforms and a gently humanist construction. Strokes remain consistently thin and even, with rounded bowls and smooth transitions that keep texture calm and continuous. Proportions are compact and upright in feel despite the slant, with open counters and clear apertures in forms like c, e, and s. The lowercase shows a relatively prominent x-height, while ascenders and descenders stay tidy, helping long lines hold an even rhythm. Numerals are similarly slender and angled, matching the letters’ restrained, minimalist construction.
Works well for editorial typography, magazine spreads, and brand systems that need an elegant slanted voice without decorative details. It also fits posters and display settings where a light, spacious texture and forward motion help create hierarchy and emphasis. In UI or supporting text, it can function as an accent style for emphasis or secondary typographic voice alongside a more neutral upright face.
The overall tone is contemporary and refined, projecting speed and lightness without feeling flashy. Its slant adds a subtle sense of motion and emphasis, while the clean outlines keep it neutral and professional. The impression is more editorial and design-forward than playful, suited to layouts that want elegance through simplicity.
Likely designed as a contemporary oblique sans that prioritizes clarity and a graceful rhythm in text. The construction suggests an aim for a refined, modern presence with minimal stylistic noise, using consistent stroke behavior and open forms to maintain readability while delivering a subtle sense of dynamism.
The glyph set shown maintains a cohesive oblique angle across capitals, lowercase, and figures, producing a consistent forward-leaning cadence in text. Round letters stay softly elliptical rather than rigidly geometric, and terminals are kept plain and unobtrusive, which supports a smooth reading line in longer passages.
