A slanted sans with smooth, rounded construction and an even, low-contrast stroke. Proportions run on the broad side with generous spacing and wide bowls, while the lowercase shows a tall x-height that keeps internal counters open. Terminals are clean and largely sheared in the direction of the slant, giving strokes a crisp, forward-leaning finish without sharp calligraphic modulation. Overall rhythm is steady and contemporary, with simple geometry tempered by slightly humanist shaping in curves and joins.
Works well for interface labels, dashboards, and product typography where a compact, readable italic is needed without losing clarity. The open forms and roomy proportions also suit editorial callouts, captions, and infographics, and the forward slant can add emphasis in branding or headings while staying restrained.
The overall tone is modern and efficient, with a subtle sense of motion from the consistent slant. It reads as clear and businesslike rather than expressive, making it feel dependable, technical, and current.
Designed to provide a pragmatic, legible italic companion with contemporary proportions and clean, rounded forms. The aim appears to be clear communication with a sense of forward motion, suitable for digital-first and information-heavy contexts.
Round letters (such as O/C/G) stay smooth and open, while diagonals and joins maintain a consistent angle that reinforces the italic posture. Numerals follow the same streamlined, oblique treatment for a cohesive color in mixed alphanumeric settings.
