A slanted sans with rounded, gently modulated curves and smooth, continuous stroke flow. The forms are built from simple geometric-like shapes but with humanist inflection: open apertures, generous bowls, and softened joins that keep the texture airy. Terminals are clean and mostly sheared rather than sharply cut, and the italic angle is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures. Spacing reads even and readable, with a steady rhythm that holds up in running text.
Works well for interface labels, product branding, and marketing copy where a modern, friendly italic voice is needed. The open counters and steady spacing also make it suitable for editorial pull quotes, short paragraphs, and wayfinding or signage at moderate sizes.
The overall tone is contemporary and approachable, with an energetic forward lean that adds motion without feeling aggressive. Rounded shaping and open counters give it a friendly, conversational voice suited to casual-to-professional communication.
Designed to provide a clean italic companion with a contemporary, rounded character—balancing geometric simplicity with humanist readability. The intent appears to be an energetic, approachable sans that stays legible in continuous text while adding stylistic motion.
Figures are clear and straightforward, matching the letterforms’ rounded construction and consistent slant. Uppercase shapes stay simple and stable, while the lowercase brings most of the warmth through curved shoulders and open bowls.
