A slanted sans with smooth, rounded curves and mostly uniform stroke thickness. Terminals are clean and largely straight-cut, while bowls and counters stay open and legible. The uppercase shows a slightly forward-leaning, engineered rhythm with compact curves and clear diagonals; the lowercase is lively, with a single-storey “a” and “g” and straightforward, open forms. Numerals are clear and contemporary, with an oval “0” and a simple, readable figure set that aligns well with the overall italic angle.
Well suited for editorial highlights, pull quotes, and marketing copy where a built-in sense of motion helps with emphasis. It can also work for UI labels and product interfaces that need a clean sans voice with a distinct italic presence, as well as brand systems and packaging that benefit from a contemporary, approachable tone.
The overall tone is modern and energetic without feeling loud. Its consistent slant adds motion and emphasis, giving text a proactive, editorial feel while maintaining a calm, neutral voice suited to everyday communication.
Likely designed as a practical italic companion with strong readability, offering a contemporary sans texture and a steady forward slant for emphasis in running text and display settings.
Curves are drawn with a rounded, almost elliptical logic, and spacing feels balanced for continuous reading. The italic angle is steady across letters and figures, and the overall silhouette favors clarity over stylistic quirks.
