A clean, oblique sans with gently rounded geometry and mostly monoline strokes. Curves are smooth and circular, with open apertures and generous counters that keep forms clear at text sizes. Terminals are simple and unadorned, and the oblique slant is consistent across letters and numerals, giving an even forward rhythm without feeling compressed. Figures are straightforward and legible, matching the letterforms’ restrained, rounded construction.
Well-suited for interface typography, product design, and general-purpose editorial use where an italic voice is needed without sacrificing clarity. Its open forms and even stroke behavior also make it a solid choice for brand systems and light wayfinding or labeling where quick recognition matters.
The overall tone is modern and neutral, with a friendly, contemporary feel driven by rounded shapes and open spacing. The steady slant adds a sense of motion and informality while staying businesslike and controlled, making it feel practical rather than expressive.
Designed to provide a straightforward italic companion for modern sans typography, prioritizing smooth rounded construction, consistent slant, and reliable readability. The intent appears to be a versatile, neutral voice that can add emphasis and motion while remaining clean and broadly applicable.
Round letters (like O and Q) read smooth and stable, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y) keep a crisp, energetic cadence that supports emphasis. The lowercase maintains a simple, workmanlike structure that favors readability over stylized quirks.
