A clean oblique sans with gently rounded curves and smooth, continuous strokes. Proportions feel spacious, with open counters and generous inner whitespace that keeps letters from clogging in text. Terminals are mostly soft and slightly sheared by the slant, while joins remain crisp and controlled, giving the design a tidy, contemporary rhythm. Capitals are simple and well-balanced, and the lowercase shows a fluid, humanist construction with clear differentiation between forms.
Works well for editorial typography, brand systems, and interface contexts where a clean oblique voice is needed. The open shapes and even rhythm suit medium-size reading and captions, while the smooth curves also make it effective for headlines and short display lines that benefit from a refined, modern slant.
The overall tone is calm and contemporary, with a light, effortless elegance. Its slanted posture adds forward motion and a conversational feel without becoming casual or playful. The rounded shapes and open forms read as approachable, making it suitable for clean, modern communication.
Designed to deliver a neutral, contemporary sans voice with a built-in sense of motion. The goal appears to be a clear, readable italicized companion style that stays minimal and polished, balancing geometric smoothness with subtly humanist shaping for comfortable text flow.
In the sample text, the italics-like slant maintains consistent angles across letters, helping lines feel cohesive. Circular letters (like O and Q) appear very smooth and even, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y) stay sharp enough to preserve clarity. Numerals are simple and readable, matching the letterforms’ restrained, geometric-leaning construction.
