A monolinear oblique sans with smooth, rounded curves and clean joins. Strokes keep an even thickness throughout, while the slant adds forward motion without feeling calligraphic. Proportions are slightly condensed in the vertical impression due to the relatively modest x-height and tall ascenders, giving lowercase forms a tidy, compact look. Counters are open and the overall spacing feels generous, producing an uncluttered texture in words and lines.
Well suited to interface copy, product surfaces, and editorial layouts where a neutral oblique voice is needed. It can work for branding and packaging that want a contemporary, understated tone, and it remains readable in captions or short paragraphs thanks to open counters and calm rhythm.
The overall tone is modern and restrained, with an airy, polished feel. Its consistent stroke rhythm and soft curvature read as approachable and contemporary rather than technical or decorative.
Likely designed as a straightforward oblique companion to a contemporary sans, prioritizing clarity and consistent geometry. The intention appears to balance neutrality with a subtle sense of motion, making it useful for emphasis within text while keeping a clean, systematic look.
Uppercase forms are simple and geometric in construction, with rounded bowls and clean terminals. Numerals follow the same smooth, oblique logic and appear designed to sit evenly in running text, with clear differentiation between shapes and no ornamental details.
