A compact, monoline sans with an oblique (italic) construction and clean, geometric-influenced curves. Strokes stay even throughout with minimal contrast, and the letterforms maintain a steady, disciplined rhythm. Counters are generally open and simple, with rounded bowls in forms like O/C/G and straightforward, uncluttered joins. The lowercase shows a pragmatic, contemporary build (single-storey a and g) and the numerals follow the same restrained, utilitarian line, keeping spacing and proportions tight for efficient set text.
Well suited to interface typography, dashboards, and information-rich layouts where a compact italic is needed for emphasis or hierarchy without adding visual noise. It can also support modern editorial typography, corporate communications, and concise signage where a clean oblique voice helps differentiate labels, captions, and secondary text.
The overall tone is contemporary and businesslike, with a smooth, unobtrusive slant that adds motion without becoming expressive. It reads as calm and functional, leaning toward a technical and editorial feel rather than playful or decorative.
Designed to provide a neutral, contemporary italic sans that stays legible and space-efficient while maintaining a consistent, orderly texture in paragraphs and mixed-case settings.
The oblique angle is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, giving lines of text a forward-leaning flow. The shapes avoid sharp calligraphic cues, relying instead on simple geometry and steady stroke behavior for clarity.
