A clean oblique sans with rounded geometry and consistently low stroke modulation. Curves are smooth and near-circular (notably in C, O, Q, and numerals), while terminals are largely blunt with subtly softened corners. Proportions feel generous and open, with broad capitals, airy counters, and a steady, even rhythm across lines of text. The slant is consistent, and the overall drawing stays straightforward and legible, avoiding decorative quirks.
Well-suited to interface typography, product branding, and contemporary editorial or marketing layouts where a forward-leaning sans can add motion without sacrificing readability. The open counters and even texture also make it a good candidate for signage and dashboards where quick scanning is important.
The tone reads modern and pragmatic, with a light athletic/tech energy from the forward slant and wide, open forms. It feels professional and unobtrusive rather than expressive, projecting clarity, momentum, and cleanliness.
Designed to provide a neutral, contemporary oblique voice with high clarity and a smooth, rounded construction. The likely goal is an all-purpose sans that adds subtle dynamism through slant while keeping forms simple, consistent, and broadly usable.
Uppercase shapes keep a simple, contemporary construction, and the lowercase shows single-storey forms (e.g., a, g) that reinforce a straightforward, functional voice. Numerals are clear and evenly weighted, matching the letterforms without calling attention to themselves.
