A rounded, geometric sans with a consistent oblique (italic) slope and smooth, low-contrast strokes. Curves are built from clean circular/elliptical shapes with open apertures, producing clear counters in letters like a, e, and s. Terminals are predominantly blunt with softly rounded joins, and the overall rhythm feels even and steady. Numerals and capitals keep the same streamlined construction, with round forms that stay balanced and readable at display sizes.
Works well for branding systems and marketing headlines where a modern, friendly sans is desired, especially in short to medium text blocks. The clear shapes and open counters also suit UI labels, product packaging, and editorial callouts where quick recognition matters.
The tone is contemporary and approachable, with an energetic forward lean that suggests motion without feeling aggressive. Its rounded geometry reads friendly and casual, making it feel suitable for upbeat, everyday communication as well as polished modern branding.
Designed to deliver a contemporary geometric sans voice with an integrated italic stance—prioritizing clarity, approachability, and a lively forward motion. The rounded construction and steady stroke behavior suggest an emphasis on versatility for both display typography and functional text accents.
The italic angle is applied uniformly across caps, lowercase, and figures, giving text a cohesive slanted texture. Round letters (O, Q, o, e) feel especially smooth and stable, while diagonals (V, W, Y, k) add snap and momentum to headlines.
