A compact oblique sans with clean, continuous curves and a lively forward slant. Strokes show moderate contrast, with slightly tapered joins and smooth, rounded terminals that keep the texture even in text. Proportions are narrow overall, with open counters and straightforward construction; the lowercase uses a single-storey “a” and a simple, looped “g,” supporting a contemporary, utilitarian rhythm. Numerals are similarly streamlined, with the “1” drawn as a slanted stroke and the “8” formed from balanced loops.
Works well for headlines and subheads where a compact, forward-leaning tone adds momentum, and for branding or packaging that needs a modern, efficient voice. It can also serve in short text blocks or UI accents when a slanted sans is desired without becoming overly stylized.
The overall tone feels modern and energetic—efficient rather than decorative. Its forward lean adds motion and urgency, while the clean forms keep it professional and approachable, suited to contemporary branding and editorial voice.
Designed to deliver a contemporary italic/oblique companion with a tight footprint and steady rhythm, emphasizing speed and clarity. The letterforms prioritize smooth curvature and open interiors to remain legible while maintaining a distinctly dynamic stance.
The oblique angle is consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, creating a cohesive, fast-reading line. Curved letters stay round and controlled, and diagonals (like in A, V, W, X, Y) are sharp and athletic, reinforcing a brisk, compact color on the page.
