A slanted sans with monoline strokes and softly rounded terminals, balancing geometric bowls with humanist construction. Curves are smooth and near-circular in letters like O/Q and the lowercase rounds, while straight strokes stay crisp and slightly tapered by perspective rather than contrast. Apertures in forms such as C, S, and e remain open, and counters are generous for a clear, airy rhythm. The italic is drawn as a true oblique style with consistent slant across capitals, lowercase, and numerals, keeping proportions steady and spacing even.
It works well for interface labels, dashboards, and product typography where clarity and a modern slant are desired. The italic presence makes it a strong option for emphasis in editorial layouts, pull quotes, and contemporary branding systems. It also scales nicely for short headlines and poster-style messaging that benefits from forward-leaning energy without sacrificing legibility.
The overall tone is contemporary and straightforward, with a sleek, utilitarian feel. Its controlled slant adds motion and emphasis without becoming expressive or calligraphic, reading as professional and efficient rather than decorative. The rounded geometry keeps it approachable while still feeling precise.
The design appears aimed at providing a versatile italic sans that feels modern and precise while remaining friendly and readable. Its consistent stroke weight and rounded geometry suggest an intention to support clear communication and emphasis across a range of sizes and contexts.
Capitals are clean and structured, with a simple diagonal-legged R and a Q featuring a short, angled tail. Lowercase has familiar, readable shapes (single-storey a and g) and a compact, tidy dot on i/j. Numerals are simple and legible, with an oval 0 and a gently curved 2/3 that match the font’s rounded construction.
