A slanted sans with smooth, continuous curves and mostly uniform stroke thickness. The letterforms lean forward with a steady, consistent angle, combining rounded bowls and open counters with clean, unadorned terminals. Uppercase shapes feel broadly geometric—especially C, O, and Q—while the lowercase introduces more humanist rhythm through varied joins and subtly tapered connections. Numerals are clear and straightforward, with simple curves and a compact, utilitarian structure that matches the text rhythm.
Well suited for interface typography, product branding, and editorial subheads where a forward-leaning emphasis is useful. It can also work in presentations and signage contexts that benefit from clean forms and quick scanning, especially at medium to large sizes.
The overall tone is contemporary and matter-of-fact, projecting speed and clarity without feeling aggressive. Its slant adds energy and emphasis, making it feel efficient and editorial rather than expressive or decorative.
The design appears intended as a practical italic companion for everyday sans typography—adding motion and hierarchy while preserving a clean, modern construction. It prioritizes consistent rhythm, open interior spaces, and simple geometry for reliable readability across common typographic tasks.
Spacing appears even and text color is smooth, with few sharp corners and a preference for rounded transitions. Several letters show generous apertures (notably in forms like e and s), supporting legibility in continuous reading while maintaining a streamlined, minimalist voice.
