A slanted sans with smooth, rounded construction and uniform stroke weight. Letterforms are built from clean curves and straight stems, with open apertures and gently rounded terminals that keep counters clear. Proportions feel balanced and moderately spacious, with a consistent rhythm across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals; diagonals and bowls maintain an even, steady texture in text.
Well-suited for interface typography, product copy, and informational layouts where a slanted emphasis is desired without adding high contrast or decorative detail. It can work for contemporary branding systems and editorial sidebars that need a clean, forward-leaning voice while maintaining comfortable readability.
The overall tone is modern and matter-of-fact, with a subtle sense of motion from the slant. It reads as calm and utilitarian rather than expressive, suggesting clarity and efficiency over personality-driven styling.
Likely designed as a practical italic companion for a modern sans system—prioritizing straightforward construction, consistent spacing, and clear forms that hold up in continuous reading as well as concise labels.
The numerals follow the same rounded, low-contrast logic as the letters, staying legible and consistent in color. Uppercase shapes lean geometric while the lowercase introduces a slightly more human, readable flow, which helps paragraphs keep an even cadence.
