A slanted sans with smooth, rounded curves and gently sheared geometry. Strokes are even and steady, with open apertures and simple, unembellished terminals that keep forms crisp at text sizes. Proportions feel slightly extended with a tall lowercase presence, and the italic angle is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures, creating a forward rhythm without becoming overly narrow. Numerals are clear and contemporary, with straightforward construction and minimal visual fuss.
Works well for interface typography, product copy, and corporate communications where a clean italic voice is needed. It’s also suited to short headlines, subheads, and pull quotes, offering emphasis without sacrificing readability in longer passages.
The overall tone is modern and efficient, with an energetic forward lean that reads as active and contemporary. Its rounded construction keeps it approachable rather than technical, making it feel at home in everyday editorial and product contexts.
Likely designed as a practical italic companion for modern sans-serif systems, prioritizing legibility, steady texture, and a contemporary feel. The consistent slant and rounded, open forms suggest an emphasis on versatile everyday typography rather than decorative display.
Counters stay generous and letterspacing appears comfortable, helping maintain clarity in continuous reading. The italic styling looks like an oblique treatment with uniform stroke behavior, emphasizing consistency and legibility over calligraphic expression.
