A slanted sans with rounded, elliptical construction and smooth, low-contrast strokes. The letterforms keep a steady rhythm with open counters and generous internal space, helping maintain clarity at smaller sizes. Terminals are clean and mostly straight-cut, while curves stay soft and controlled, giving the design a streamlined, contemporary texture. Figures match the same oblique stance and even color, with simple, legible shapes and consistent stroke behavior across the set.
Works well for interface copy, dashboards, and app/web typography where a clear oblique emphasis is needed without sacrificing legibility. The steady rhythm and open forms also suit short editorial passages, captions, and information design, while the energetic slant can add motion to headlines and brand statements.
The overall tone feels modern and efficient, with a forward-leaning emphasis that reads as active and energetic without becoming informal. Its clean geometry and controlled curvature suggest a practical, contemporary voice suited to everyday UI and brand communication.
Likely designed to provide a clean, contemporary italic/oblique companion for modern sans typography—prioritizing clarity, even texture, and a confident forward motion for digital-first communication.
The italics are built as a true oblique style rather than calligraphic; the slant is consistent and the forms remain structurally sans. Spacing appears balanced in the samples, producing an even typographic color in running text while keeping distinctive silhouettes for quick scanning.
