A slanted sans with smooth, rounded curves and restrained, even stroke modulation. The proportions feel horizontally generous, with broad bowls and open counters that keep letterforms airy at size. Terminals are mostly clean and slightly softened rather than sharply cut, and the overall rhythm is consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals. The lowercase shows a clear, contemporary construction with a single-storey “g” and straightforward, uncluttered joins.
Well suited to interface typography, product branding, and contemporary editorial or presentation use where a clean italic voice is needed. The open counters and generous proportions also make it a good choice for signage and short-to-medium text settings where clarity and pace matter.
The overall tone is contemporary and efficient, with an energetic forward lean that suggests motion and progress. Its smooth curves and open forms keep it friendly and approachable, while the crisp, pared-back construction reads as modern and practical rather than decorative.
Likely designed as a modern italic companion with a clear, systematized construction: legible, neutral-leaning, and adaptable to digital and print layouts. The goal appears to be a forward-moving, contemporary tone without sacrificing clarity in mixed-case text and numerals.
Capitals are simple and geometric-leaning, with rounded “C/G/O” shapes and a clean “R” leg that reinforces the forward-tilting momentum. Numerals are clear and utilitarian, with rounded figures and consistent spacing that suits informational settings.
