A slanted sans with smooth, rounded curves and gently modulated geometry that leans on circular and elliptical forms. Strokes are even and steady, with soft joins and rounded terminals that keep the texture calm and consistent in running text. Uppercase forms are straightforward and slightly wide-set in feel, while lowercase shapes show open apertures and a clear, uncluttered construction; numerals follow the same simple, readable logic. Overall spacing reads comfortable, producing an airy rhythm that stays legible at display and larger text sizes.
Well suited for modern branding and identity systems that need a friendly, efficient sans with a built-in sense of motion. It also works for UI elements, marketing headlines, and packaging copy where clarity and a contemporary tone are priorities, especially at medium-to-large sizes.
The tone is contemporary and approachable, with an active forward-lean that suggests motion without becoming aggressive. Its clean construction and restrained personality give it a neutral, professional voice that still feels personable.
The design appears intended as a versatile italic companion (or standalone slanted style) that maintains clean readability while adding energy and momentum. Its rounded, open forms aim to stay neutral and broadly applicable across digital and print contexts.
The italic angle is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and numerals, helping mixed-case settings look cohesive. Round letters like o/e/c stay smooth and balanced, and the simplified shapes keep the font from feeling technical or ornamental.
