A slanted sans with smooth, rounded curves and straightforward construction. Strokes stay even and calm, with softened joins and gently tapered terminals that keep the letterforms from feeling mechanical. Proportions are fairly balanced, with open apertures and generous internal counters; the italic angle is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, giving lines a steady forward rhythm. Numerals follow the same oblique stance with simple, readable shapes and clear differentiation.
Well-suited to interface copy and product surfaces where an italic voice is needed for emphasis while staying clean and readable. It also works for editorial pull quotes, captions, and presentation typography, and can hold up in charts and infographics thanks to its open forms and clear numerals.
The overall tone feels contemporary and efficient, with a friendly, unobtrusive warmth from the rounded forms. Its forward-leaning posture adds motion and urgency without becoming expressive or decorative, making it feel practical but energetic.
Likely designed as a versatile italic companion for everyday typography—prioritizing clarity, consistent forward motion, and a neutral contemporary feel. The rounded geometry and restrained details suggest an emphasis on legibility and broad applicability rather than stylistic flourish.
Uppercase forms read crisp and stable while the lowercase introduces a more humanist texture, especially in curved letters and single-storey shapes. Spacing appears even and rhythmical in text, and the oblique slant remains legible at display sizes while still looking suitable for continuous reading.
