A clean, oblique sans with monoline strokes and broadly geometric construction. Curves read as circular to elliptical with smooth joins and open apertures, while straight strokes keep a crisp, even rhythm. Proportions feel generously wide with ample internal counters; capitals are simple and legible, and lowercase forms maintain a straightforward, contemporary skeleton. Figures follow the same even-stroke logic, with rounded forms (0, 8, 9) and simplified angularity in diagonals (2, 7) that keeps the set consistent.
Well-suited to contemporary UI and product typography where a clean, slanted voice is needed for emphasis or hierarchy. It also fits branding, headlines, and signage that benefit from wide, open forms and consistent, low-drama letter shapes.
The overall tone is modern and neutral, with a light, aerodynamic slant that adds motion without becoming expressive or calligraphic. It feels understated and practical—more “interface and information” than decorative—while the wide set and rounded geometry keep it approachable.
Likely designed as a modern oblique companion for a neutral sans system, prioritizing clear geometry, even color, and readable spacing for both display lines and short passages of text.
The italic is a true oblique rather than a cursive italic: terminals remain largely blunt and construction stays geometric. Spacing appears comfortable in text, and the wide letterforms help maintain clarity at larger sizes and in short, prominent lines.
