A slanted, sans italic with smooth, rounded construction and a consistent, even stroke. Curves are broadly elliptical with open apertures and generous counters, giving letters a clear interior rhythm. Terminals are mostly soft and subtly tapered, and many forms lean on diagonals for structure (notably in the uppercase and the long ascenders/descenders), producing an energetic forward motion. Spacing appears moderate and even, with a slightly bouncy baseline feel in lowercase due to the italic slant and varied stroke entry/exit angles.
Works well for brand identities, marketing, and editorial settings where an italic voice is needed without sacrificing clarity. Its open forms and steady color also make it a solid choice for UI labels, product messaging, and short-to-medium text blocks where a friendly, modern tone is desired.
The overall tone is approachable and contemporary, pairing clean geometry with a human, conversational slant. It feels informal without becoming playful or quirky, making it suited to friendly communication and everyday UI or brand voice.
Likely designed to provide a clean italic companion that stays highly legible while adding motion and warmth. The rounded shapes and open counters suggest an emphasis on readability and approachability in contemporary design contexts.
Uppercase forms read crisp and straightforward, while the lowercase adds character through its italic rhythm and rounded joins. Numerals follow the same smooth, open style, with clear differentiation and a consistent slant that keeps mixed text cohesive.
