A slanted sans with clean, open counters and a sturdy, even stroke. The letterforms lean consistently forward with squared-off terminals and gently rounded curves, producing a crisp, engineered feel rather than a calligraphic one. Proportions are straightforward and compact, with clear differentiation between similar shapes and numerals that keep to the same controlled geometry.
This font suits UI and product contexts where a slanted style can add momentum—navigation labels, dashboards, charts, and short informational text. It also works well for contemporary branding, packaging, and signage that benefits from a clean sans voice with a built-in sense of forward motion.
The overall tone is modern and matter-of-fact, suggesting speed and efficiency without becoming aggressive. Its restrained shapes and consistent rhythm feel utilitarian and contemporary, suitable for interfaces and systems where clarity matters.
The design appears intended to offer a functional sans with an energetic slant: familiar, highly legible structures paired with a streamlined, modern rhythm. It prioritizes clarity and consistency while delivering a subtle sense of speed through its oblique construction.
The italic is constructed as an oblique, maintaining a stable sans structure while adding motion through the uniform slant. Round letters stay smooth and relatively circular, while diagonals and joins remain sharp and tidy, giving the face a slightly technical edge.
