A slanted, monoline sans with smooth, rounded curves and a steady rhythm. The letterforms are built from clean elliptical shapes with open apertures and generous counters, keeping forms clear even in compact settings. Strokes remain even throughout with minimal modulation, while terminals are mostly straight or softly cut, reinforcing a crisp, contemporary texture. Proportions feel balanced and practical, with numerals that follow the same streamlined, geometric logic as the letters.
Well suited for UI and product environments where a clean italic is needed for emphasis, as well as editorial subheads, captions, and interface labels. Its open shapes and even stroke weight also make it a dependable choice for contemporary branding systems that want a subtle sense of movement without sacrificing clarity.
The overall tone is modern and neutral, with a brisk, forward-leaning energy from the italic stance. It reads as efficient and matter-of-fact rather than expressive, suggesting clarity, motion, and a polished utilitarian voice.
Designed to provide a straightforward italic companion with a modern, rounded construction and reliable readability. The emphasis appears to be on consistency and clarity in running text while preserving a sleek, contemporary silhouette.
The slant is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and numerals, producing a cohesive text color. Curved letters (like C, G, O, S) stay smooth and controlled, and diagonals (V, W, X, Y, Z) look sharp without becoming spiky, supporting a stable, readable flow in continuous text.
