A slanted sans with smooth, rounded contours and a largely even stroke that keeps texture consistent across lines. Curves are broad and elliptical, with open counters and clear apertures that prevent forms from closing up in text. Terminals read clean and uncluttered, and the oblique angle is steady, giving the alphabet a cohesive forward rhythm without becoming overly calligraphic. Numerals follow the same rounded construction, with generous bowls and straightforward geometry for easy recognition.
Works well for user interfaces, product copy, and general-purpose communication where a contemporary italic voice is needed for emphasis without sacrificing clarity. It also suits branding and promotional design that benefits from a clean, energetic slant, and performs comfortably in editorial settings for subheads, pull quotes, or highlighted passages.
The overall tone is modern and approachable, with a crisp, contemporary feel softened by round shaping. Its steady slant adds motion and emphasis, making it feel active and conversational rather than formal or strictly technical.
Likely drawn to provide a versatile italic companion with a neutral, modern character and dependable readability. The rounded construction and open shapes suggest an aim toward clarity in continuous text while retaining enough personality for display accents.
Uppercase proportions feel balanced and slightly wide in the round letters, while diagonals (A, V, W, X, Y) maintain a taut, energetic stance. In the lowercase, the single-storey shapes and open joins keep the wordforms simple and readable, and the spacing produces an even, calm color in paragraphs despite the italic angle.
