A smooth, oblique sans with rounded, gently tapered strokes and open, circular counters. The letterforms favor soft geometry—ovals and clean arcs—while maintaining a practical, readable structure. Caps are simple and upright in construction but slanted overall, with generous interior space in forms like O, D, and P; diagonals in A, V, W, and X feel steady rather than sharp. Lowercase shows a single-storey a and g, a compact ear on g, and a curved descender on q, contributing to an easy, modern rhythm. Numerals are straightforward and lining, with consistent stroke behavior and clear differentiation between similar shapes.
Well suited to interface typography, dashboards, and product copy where a contemporary italic voice is needed without sacrificing readability. It also fits brand systems, marketing materials, and editorial callouts that benefit from a clean, forward-leaning emphasis, and can work for short signage or wayfinding when set with adequate size and tracking.
The overall tone is modern and approachable, with an energetic slant that suggests motion without becoming expressive or decorative. Rounded joins and open counters keep it friendly and accessible, while the restrained construction reads as professional and general-purpose.
The design appears intended as a versatile oblique companion for modern sans typography—prioritizing clarity, smoothness, and a friendly neutrality. Its rounded geometry and open forms aim to keep emphasis legible in continuous reading while still feeling contemporary and active.
The slant is consistent across the set, and spacing appears even, giving text a smooth forward flow. Curves remain dominant, and terminals stay clean and unadorned, helping maintain clarity at paragraph sizes.
