A slanted sans with rounded, gently squared terminals and smooth, even stroke modulation. Letterforms lean forward with a consistent italic angle, combining circular bowls and open apertures with compact joins and tidy intersections. The uppercase reads sturdy and geometric, while the lowercase introduces more humanist movement—particularly in curved characters and the single-storey forms—creating a lively rhythm. Numerals are clear and robust, matching the same rounded geometry and forward-leaning stance.
Well-suited for brand identities, marketing headlines, and display typography where a clean but personable voice is needed. The slanted structure and open forms also make it a good choice for interface accents, callouts, and packaging copy that benefits from a sense of motion and approachability.
The overall tone is modern and approachable, with a mild sportiness from the forward slant. Rounded endings and open shapes keep it friendly rather than technical, while the steady construction maintains a clean, contemporary feel.
Likely designed to deliver a contemporary sans that feels friendly and dynamic, using an italic stance and rounded detailing to add personality while preserving a clean, versatile typographic foundation.
Curves stay smooth and well-controlled, and the spacing in the sample text suggests a balanced, readable texture at larger sizes. Diagonals and angled strokes are prominent, reinforcing motion and momentum without becoming aggressive.
