A clean, oblique sans with largely monoline strokes and geometric construction. Curves are smooth and near-circular (notably in C, O, Q, and the numerals), while terminals are mostly straight and crisp, giving a precise, engineered feel. The italic slant is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, with simple, open apertures and minimal stroke modulation. Proportions lean slightly wide and open, and the lowercase shows straightforward forms (single-storey a and g) that keep the texture even in continuous text.
Well-suited for interface typography, product branding, and corporate communications where a modern italic voice is needed without sacrificing clarity. It also works for headings, pull quotes, and signage systems that benefit from a consistent slant and open, geometric forms.
The overall tone is modern and matter-of-fact: calm, efficient, and contemporary rather than expressive or decorative. The steady slant adds a sense of forward motion, while the geometric curves keep it approachable and neutral.
The design appears intended as a practical, contemporary italic sans: geometric enough to feel modern and systematic, but restrained and readable for everyday communication. The consistent slant and simplified lowercase suggest a focus on clean rhythm and straightforward legibility in running text.
In the samples, spacing and counters stay open, supporting clarity at display and text sizes. The figures follow the same geometric logic as the letters, with smooth bowls and clean joins that maintain a uniform rhythm.
