A rounded sans with a consistent backward slant and gently modulated, near-monoline strokes. Curves are clean and circular, with open counters and soft, slightly tapered terminals that keep the texture light and airy. Proportions feel broadly conventional, but the slant and subtly varied letter widths create a lively rhythm; capitals are simple and geometric, while lowercase forms lean more human and conversational. Numerals are straightforward and readable, matching the same smooth curves and relaxed construction.
Works well for branding and identity systems that benefit from a distinctive slant, as well as headlines, posters, and packaging where a friendly, modern voice is desired. In longer passages it can add character to pull quotes, short editorial blurbs, or UI marketing copy, especially at medium-to-large sizes where the open shapes and rounded terminals remain clear.
The overall tone is warm and informal, with a playful lean that reads as energetic rather than rigid or technical. It feels contemporary and approachable, suited to designs that want friendliness without becoming decorative or quirky.
Designed to deliver a familiar sans foundation with a distinctive reverse-italic motion, adding personality and momentum without relying on ornament. The rounded construction and open forms suggest an aim toward clarity and approachability, while the slant differentiates it for display-led typography.
The reverse-italic angle is the most distinctive feature, giving lines of text a subtly buoyant motion. Round characters (O, C, e, o) stay very even and smooth, while diagonals (A, V, W, X, y) emphasize the slanted, animated feel; spacing appears comfortable for continuous reading at larger sizes.
