A slanted sans with largely monoline construction and clean, geometric outlines. Curves are round and fairly uniform (notably in C, O, Q, and 8), while terminals are crisp and decisively cut, producing a taut, contemporary rhythm. Uppercase proportions feel broad and stable, with straightforward joins in forms like M, N, and K. Lowercase is simple and open with a single-storey a and g, a compact, utilitarian y, and a firm, slightly squared-off shoulder on r; counters remain generous for clarity. Numerals follow the same clean geometry, with a balanced 0 and open, readable 2–3–5 shapes.
Well-suited to interface typography, corporate communications, and contemporary branding where a clean, forward-leaning sans is desired. It should also work effectively for headings and short-to-medium editorial text, plus signage and packaging that benefit from clear shapes and steady rhythm.
The overall tone is modern and matter-of-fact: brisk, streamlined, and practical rather than expressive. The steady slant adds forward motion and a mild dynamism without becoming flamboyant.
The design appears intended as a versatile italic companion or primary slanted style: geometric, readable, and restrained, emphasizing clarity and a contemporary voice while maintaining smooth, rounded forms.
The slant is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures, and the spacing in the sample text reads even at large sizes. Round letters keep a smooth continuity, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y) and angled joins add a crisp, technical edge.
