A compact oblique sans with monoline strokes and smooth, rounded joins. Curves are built from clean ellipses with open apertures, giving letters like C, S, and e a clear, airy interior despite the tight width. Terminals are plain and unembellished, and counters stay fairly generous for the overall proportions. The rhythm is even and consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, with simple, utilitarian shapes and minimal modulation.
Well-suited to interfaces, dashboards, and information design where compact letterforms help conserve space while maintaining clarity. The oblique posture also works effectively for headings, callouts, captions, and brand systems that want a contemporary, energetic accent without decorative styling.
The overall tone feels modern and matter-of-fact: brisk, contemporary, and quietly technical rather than expressive. Its slant adds momentum and a sense of forward motion while staying restrained and professional.
The design appears intended to deliver a space-efficient, contemporary sans voice with a built-in sense of motion from the oblique slant. It prioritizes consistency, clarity, and a clean geometric construction for practical display and short-to-medium text applications.
Lowercase forms lean toward single-storey constructions (notably a and g), reinforcing a geometric, streamlined voice. Figures read as straightforward and functional, matching the letterforms’ restrained detailing and consistent stroke color.
