A slanted sans with smooth, round bowls and gently tapered joins that keep stroke modulation subtle. Curves are drawn with a consistent, ellipse-based geometry, while diagonals in A, K, V, W, X, and Y are crisp and energetic. Counters are open and fairly generous, terminals are clean and unadorned, and the overall rhythm is even, with a noticeable forward lean that adds motion without becoming cursive.
Works well for interface labels, dashboards, and product typography where a clean italic voice is needed for hierarchy or emphasis. It also suits editorial subheads, pull quotes, and brand systems that want a modern, unobtrusive sans with a bit of forward momentum.
The tone is contemporary and matter-of-fact, with a restrained, professional voice. Its oblique angle brings a sense of speed and emphasis, while the calm, rounded construction keeps it approachable and readable.
Likely designed as a utilitarian oblique companion for general-purpose sans typography, prioritizing clear shapes and steady text color while providing a distinct emphasis style. The rounded construction and open forms suggest an intent to remain friendly and legible across both display snippets and longer lines of text.
Numerals follow the same rounded logic, with clear differentiation between forms (notably the open shapes in 2, 3, 5 and the balanced loops in 8). Uppercase forms feel tidy and compact, while lowercase maintains straightforward, non-calligraphic construction, supporting a consistent texture in paragraphs.
