A slanted sans with rounded construction and smooth, low-contrast strokes. Curves are generous and open, with broad bowls on letters like C, G, O, and Q and a softly tapered feel at some terminals. The italic angle is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and numerals, producing a forward-leaning rhythm. Proportions feel balanced with a moderate x-height, clear counters, and uncomplicated geometry; the lowercase shows a single-storey a and g, and the overall texture stays even and legible in running text.
Well-suited to branding and editorial headlines where a modern, forward-leaning voice is useful. It also works for short UI labels, signage, and packaging where clarity and a dynamic feel are both important. In longer text, it maintains a consistent rhythm, especially at moderate sizes.
The tone is contemporary and energetic, combining a clean sans structure with an informal, friendly motion from the steady slant. It suggests speed and momentum without becoming aggressive, making it feel approachable and modern.
The design appears intended as a versatile italic companion or standalone slanted sans that adds motion and personality while preserving clean, everyday readability. Its rounded forms and open counters aim for a friendly contemporary voice across display and general-purpose applications.
Capitals are straightforward and slightly wide in their curves, while diagonals (K, V, W, X, Y) read crisp and stable. Numerals are clear and contemporary, with rounded forms (0, 8, 9) and simple, legible angles (1, 4, 7) that match the italic flow.
