A slanted sans with smooth, rounded construction and gently tapered strokes that create a subtly calligraphic feel. Curves are broad and clean, with open apertures and generous counters that keep forms readable at text sizes. Terminals tend to be softly finished rather than sharply cut, and the italic angle is consistent across the set, giving the alphabet a steady forward rhythm. Proportions feel balanced with moderate ascenders and descenders, and widths vary naturally from glyph to glyph for an organic, less mechanical texture.
Works well for UI copy, product pages, and editorial text where a clean sans needs a more human, dynamic voice. The open shapes and steady rhythm also suit captions, short paragraphs, and brand collateral that benefits from a modern but personable italic.
The overall tone is contemporary and approachable, with a calm clarity that still feels energetic due to the consistent slant. It reads as friendly and human rather than strictly technical, suitable for brands or interfaces that want warmth without losing polish.
Likely designed to provide an everyday italic sans that remains highly legible while adding motion and warmth. The rounded geometry and restrained contrast suggest an intent to balance neutrality with a subtly expressive, humanist character.
Round letters like O and Q show smooth, even curvature, and the shapes maintain a coherent rhythm in running text. Numerals follow the same slanted, open style, integrating well with the alphabet for mixed alphanumeric settings.
