A slanted sans with smooth, rounded construction and largely monolinear strokes. Curves are broad and even, with open apertures and softened terminals that keep counters airy and readable. The uppercase is compact and steady, while the lowercase shows more calligraphic influence—noticeable in the single-storey a and g, the curved descender on y, and the flowing, looped forms of j and f. Overall spacing feels generous and the rhythm is continuous, giving text a cohesive, forward-leaning texture.
Well suited to interfaces and product experiences where an italicized voice is needed without sacrificing clarity, as well as editorial sidebars, pull quotes, and short-to-medium paragraphs. Its friendly, contemporary texture also works for branding, packaging, and promotional headlines where a sense of motion and approachability is desirable.
The overall tone is modern and personable, combining a clean sans foundation with an energetic slant. It reads as friendly rather than strict, with a mild casualness that suggests motion and ease without becoming playful or quirky.
Likely designed to offer an italicized sans that remains highly readable in continuous text while adding warmth and momentum. The rounded geometry and open counters aim for clarity at a range of sizes, while the more humanist lowercase details provide character for display applications.
Figures are simple and legible, with rounded bowls and minimal ornamentation; the 0 is distinctly oval and the 1 is straightforward, supporting quick scanning in mixed text. The oblique angle is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, helping maintain uniform color in longer passages.
