A slanted sans with clean, low-contrast strokes and rounded, open forms. Curves are smooth and generously drawn, with circular bowls and soft terminals that keep the texture even at text sizes. Counters stay open (notably in letters like a, e, and s), and the lowercase shows a compact, readable rhythm with a straightforward, utilitarian construction. Numerals are simple and legible, matching the same understated, geometric-meets-humanist balance as the letters.
Well-suited for interface typography, captions, and information design where a clean, slanted emphasis is helpful without sacrificing clarity. It can also serve in contemporary branding and editorial settings for subheads, pull quotes, or highlights where a modern, streamlined voice is desired.
The overall tone feels contemporary and efficient, with a forward-leaning energy from the italic stance. It reads as calm and professional rather than expressive, giving a subtle sense of motion without becoming decorative.
Designed to provide a practical italic voice for everyday typography: smooth, readable forms with restrained character and consistent slant, aimed at clear communication across both short labels and continuous text.
The italic angle is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, producing a cohesive, continuous flow in longer text. Round letters maintain smooth ovalization while diagonals (like v, w, x, y) remain crisp, supporting clear word shapes and steady spacing.
