A slanted sans with rounded, softly modeled curves and low-contrast strokes. The letterforms lean consistently, with smooth joins and a generally circular construction in bowls and counters. Uppercase shapes are straightforward and balanced, while the lowercase shows more humanist movement, including a single-storey “a” and a looped “g,” giving the texture a lively rhythm. Terminals read as gently softened rather than sharply cut, and numerals follow the same rounded, open design language for an even overall color.
Well-suited for interface copy and product text where a personable, modern voice is desired, and it can also carry headlines or short marketing lines with confident energy. The italic slant makes it especially effective for emphasis, quotes, and brand messaging that benefits from motion and warmth.
The overall tone feels contemporary and approachable, with an upbeat, conversational slant. Its rounded construction and open shapes keep it friendly and accessible, while the steady italic angle adds momentum and a mildly expressive, informal character.
Designed to deliver a clean sans voice with added warmth and forward motion, combining rounded, open forms with a consistent italic stance for readability and friendly emphasis.
In running text the spacing and contours create a smooth flow, with clear differentiation between similar shapes thanks to open apertures and distinct diagonals. The mix of geometric roundness with subtly humanist details keeps it from feeling overly mechanical.
