A clean oblique sans with largely geometric construction and gently rounded curves. Strokes show noticeable (but not dramatic) modulation, with smooth joins and open counters that keep forms clear at text sizes. The italic is a true slant rather than a cursive rewrite, maintaining straightforward, upright skeletons while leaning consistently. Proportions feel balanced and contemporary, with generous interior space and a slightly streamlined rhythm across letters and numerals.
Works well for interface copy, product and marketing text, and editorial layouts that benefit from an italic voice without sacrificing clarity. The open apertures and moderate stroke modulation support comfortable reading in paragraphs, while the slant and clean geometry make it suitable for headings, pull quotes, and brand systems needing a contemporary, energetic accent.
The overall tone is modern and composed, with an energetic forward lean that adds motion without feeling decorative. It reads as professional and neutral, suitable for workhorse typography, while the subtle softness in curves keeps it approachable rather than stark.
Designed to provide a practical, modern italic companion that stays legible and orderly in continuous text while adding forward momentum. The emphasis appears to be on clarity, consistent rhythm, and broad usability rather than expressive calligraphic flair.
Round characters (like O and 0) appear broadly elliptical and even, while diagonals (A, V, W, X) are crisp and stable. The numerals are clear and text-friendly, matching the letterforms’ slanted stance and open shapes, which helps maintain consistent color in mixed alphanumeric settings.
