A clean, oblique sans with gently rounded curves and largely monolinear strokes. Uppercase forms are compact and geometric-leaning, while the lowercase shows a more humanist rhythm with open apertures and soft joins. Terminals are mostly blunt with subtle rounding, and counters stay generous, helping keep shapes clear even in the slanted stance. Figures are simple and contemporary, with smooth bowls and straightforward diagonals that maintain a consistent texture across mixed content.
Works well for UI labels, captions, and secondary typography where an italic style is needed for emphasis while staying highly legible. The even stroke and open counters also suit editorial pull quotes, presentation typography, and modern branding systems that rely on clean, unobtrusive forms.
The overall tone is modern and matter-of-fact, with a calm, efficient slant that adds motion without becoming expressive or calligraphic. It feels contemporary and professional, suitable for interfaces and brand systems that want an understated italic voice rather than a decorative flourish.
Likely designed as a versatile italic companion for a contemporary sans system, prioritizing clarity, consistent texture, and a smooth geometric/humanist balance. The restrained detailing suggests an emphasis on everyday readability and broad applicability rather than display ornament.
The italic angle is consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, and the spacing reads slightly open, producing an even, breathable color in paragraph settings. Round letters (O/Q/0) appear smooth and near-circular, while diagonals (V/W/X/Y) keep crisp, stable joins that reinforce a tidy, engineered feel.
