A slanted sans with smooth, rounded construction and largely monolinear strokes. Curves are generously circular and counters are open, giving letters a breathable, legible texture. Terminals are mostly soft and clean rather than sharply cut, and joins stay simple, producing an even rhythm across words. The lowercase shows straightforward, compact forms with a moderate x-height and clear differentiation in the figures.
Well-suited to interface copy, product branding, and general-purpose editorial settings where a clean italic voice is needed. It also works for short headlines and pull quotes, and remains readable in smaller supporting sizes such as captions and labels.
The overall tone is contemporary and approachable, balancing neutrality with a subtle forward-leaning energy from the italic stance. Its rounded shapes keep it from feeling severe, while the tidy geometry maintains a professional, utilitarian voice.
The design appears intended as a versatile italic companion with modern, rounded forms that prioritize clarity and steady texture in continuous reading. It aims to feel contemporary and friendly while staying neutral enough for broad everyday use.
The slant is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and numerals, creating a cohesive flow in text. Round glyphs (like o/0) read as smooth and stable, while diagonals and angled strokes add gentle momentum without becoming calligraphic.
