A slanted sans with smooth, rounded construction and a calm, even rhythm. Strokes are clean and moderately contrasted for a sans, with rounded terminals and gently tapered joins that keep curves continuous rather than mechanical. Proportions are fairly balanced with a normal x-height and open apertures; bowls and counters stay spacious, and the overall spacing reads slightly airy. Uppercase forms are straightforward and geometric-leaning, while the lowercase introduces a more humanist feel, with a single-storey “g” and soft, compact shoulders.
Works well for editorial settings where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, pull quotes, or subheads with a refined, modern feel. It also fits contemporary branding and marketing where a clean slanted sans can convey pace and clarity. With its open counters and even rhythm, it can serve short-to-medium UI or product copy when a sleek italic style is desired.
The overall tone is contemporary and polished, with the italic slant adding motion and a sense of forward momentum. It feels professional and unobtrusive rather than playful, making it well suited to communication that needs emphasis without drama. The rounded shapes and open counters give it an approachable, readable voice.
Designed to provide a versatile italic sans that remains readable while adding energy and emphasis. The intention appears to balance modern geometric simplicity with slightly humanist shaping, yielding a polished, broadly applicable voice for display and text-forward applications.
Numerals follow the same smooth, rounded logic as the letters, keeping forms clear at a glance. The italic angle is consistent across cases, and curved letters (like C, G, O, S) maintain a stable, even texture in running text. Diagonal-heavy capitals (such as V, W, X, Y) show crisp, clean intersections that stay legible without becoming sharp or aggressive.
