A slanted, monoline sans with a compact, streamlined build and smoothly rounded curves. Strokes stay even throughout, with softly finished terminals and minimal modulation, giving letters a crisp, mechanical consistency. Capitals are tall and economical, while the lowercase keeps a straightforward structure with open counters and a tidy rhythm; curves in C/G/O and the bowls of b/d/p/q read cleanly, and diagonals (V/W/X/Y) feel taut and efficient.
Works well for interface typography, compact labeling, and navigation systems where a clean, efficient slanted voice is helpful. It also suits tech-oriented identities, dashboards, and editorial sidebars or captions that need a modern sans with added motion while remaining readable at typical text sizes.
The overall tone is contemporary and matter-of-fact, with an energetic forward lean that suggests speed and momentum. Its restrained detailing keeps it calm and professional rather than expressive, making it feel utilitarian and modern.
Likely designed to provide a contemporary sans-serif voice with a built-in sense of movement, balancing compact proportions with clear, open shapes for functional reading. The even stroke and restrained forms point to an emphasis on consistency and clarity across mixed-case text and numerals.
Figures follow the same linear construction and integrate smoothly with the alphabet, supporting continuous text without drawing attention to themselves. The sample text shows steady spacing and a consistent slant across mixed-case settings, producing a cohesive, slightly compressed color on the page.
