A slanted sans with a smooth, rounded construction and largely monoline strokes. Curves are drawn with generous radii and open apertures, giving letters a clear, breathable rhythm. Terminals are softly finished rather than sharply cut, and joins stay calm and unobtrusive. Proportions feel balanced with moderate ascenders/descenders; the overall spacing reads even and legible across both uppercase and lowercase, while the figures follow the same simple, contemporary logic.
Well-suited for editorial layouts, pull quotes, and short-to-medium reading where a clean italic voice is needed. It can also work effectively in contemporary branding, packaging, and presentation typography, and in UI contexts for labels or emphasized states where a friendly, unobtrusive slant helps differentiate hierarchy.
The tone is contemporary and approachable, with an editorial polish that feels lightweight and efficient rather than loud. The italic slant adds motion and energy, suggesting emphasis and forward momentum while staying restrained and professional.
Designed to provide a neutral, modern italic sans that maintains clarity and smooth rhythm while conveying subtle dynamism. The rounded geometry and open counters suggest an emphasis on legibility and an inviting, contemporary personality.
Uppercase forms read straightforward and geometric-leaning, while the lowercase introduces a slightly more humanist flow, especially in the shoulders and bowls. Numerals appear clean and consistent with the letterforms, supporting straightforward data or UI use without looking overly technical.
