A slanted sans with smooth, rounded construction and compact proportions. Strokes are even and steady, with soft joins and gently tapered-looking terminals created by the oblique angle rather than true stroke contrast. Counters are open and clean, and curves read as elliptical, giving letters a consistent forward motion. Uppercase forms are straightforward and geometric-leaning, while lowercase keeps simple, single-storey shapes with a clear, readable rhythm; figures are similarly rounded and consistent in color.
Works well for UI labels, short-form copy, and interfaces that need an italic emphasis without becoming decorative. It also suits branding, posters, and headline work where a compact, fast-moving sans can communicate energy while remaining legible over varying backgrounds.
The overall tone is contemporary and brisk, with an informal confidence. The oblique posture adds momentum and a slightly sporty feel while the rounded forms keep it approachable rather than aggressive. It feels suited to upbeat messaging where clarity and motion are both desired.
Designed to provide a clean, modern italic voice for a sans system, prioritizing smooth readability and a consistent rhythm. The rounded geometry and restrained detailing suggest an intention to stay neutral and versatile while still conveying motion through the slant.
The design maintains a relatively tight, economical footprint and a uniform typographic color, which helps it stay coherent in paragraphs. Distinctive slanted silhouettes and simple, open apertures make the sample text read smoothly at display and text sizes where an italic voice is needed.
