A slanted sans with a clean, open construction and rounded curves. Strokes are smooth and fairly uniform, with gently tapered joins and softened terminals that avoid sharp, mechanical endings. Uppercase forms are straightforward and geometric-leaning (notably the round C/G/O), while the lowercase shows a more humanist rhythm with single-storey a and g, a compact ear on g, and a softly curved e. Counters are generous and apertures stay open, keeping the texture light and readable; figures are simple and consistent, with a round 0 and an open-top 4.
Well-suited to interface typography, product copy, and editorial layouts where an unobtrusive italic voice is needed for emphasis. It also works for branding and presentation materials that benefit from a modern, friendly slant and clean readability at small-to-medium sizes.
The overall tone is contemporary and approachable, combining a crisp, modern feel with a mild warmth from the rounded detailing. The slant adds a sense of motion and informality without becoming expressive or calligraphic, making it feel polished but not rigid.
Likely designed as a versatile italic companion for contemporary sans typography: clear shapes, open counters, and restrained detailing that supports long-form reading and everyday UI/communication needs while adding subtle energy through its slant.
Letterfit appears moderate with even spacing and a steady baseline rhythm. Diagonal strokes (V, W, X, Y) feel slightly more dynamic due to the slant, while circular letters maintain smooth, even curvature for a calm, uncluttered texture in paragraphs.
