A lightly built oblique sans with smooth, rounded curves and a largely monoline stroke. Proportions feel roomy with generous sidebearings and open counters, giving letters a breathable texture in words. The italics are achieved through a consistent slant rather than calligraphic modulation, and terminals are clean and uncomplicated. Numerals follow the same streamlined construction, with simple, readable forms and minimal ornament.
This font suits user interfaces and product experiences where an italic voice is needed without sacrificing clarity, as well as contemporary branding and packaging that benefits from a light, spacious texture. It also performs well in editorial settings for pull quotes, captions, and subheads where a refined, modern slant helps create hierarchy.
The overall tone is contemporary and approachable, balancing a crisp, technical cleanliness with a soft, friendly roundness. Its slanted stance adds a sense of motion and polish without feeling aggressive or overly stylized.
The design appears intended to provide a clean, modern oblique companion for everyday typography—prioritizing legibility, smooth geometry, and an elegant forward-leaning rhythm suitable for both display accents and text-forward layouts.
Round characters (like O/C/e) maintain an even rhythm and smooth curvature, while diagonals (A/V/W/X) are kept slender and tidy. The overall spacing and open shapes help preserve clarity in longer lines of text.
