A slanted, low-contrast sans with smooth, rounded curves and a consistent, even stroke. The letterforms favor open apertures and clear counters, with gently softened joins and terminals that keep the texture light and readable. Capitals are straightforward and geometric-leaning, while the lowercase shows a slightly more humanist rhythm in letters like a, e, and g. Figures are simple and legible, with round forms that echo the bowls in the letters.

The overall tone feels contemporary and approachable, combining a clean sans structure with an energetic slant. It reads as friendly and informal rather than corporate, making it suitable for designs that want clarity without looking rigid.
Likely designed to provide a versatile italic sans that stays neutral and legible while adding motion and personality. The forms aim for broad usability, blending geometric clarity with subtle humanist softness for comfortable reading in continuous text.
The italic construction appears as a true oblique style with consistent slant across capitals, lowercase, and numerals, creating a cohesive forward motion in text. Spacing looks balanced in the sample paragraph, producing an even gray value without looking tightly packed.
