A clean, slanted sans with gently rounded curves and crisp, straight terminals. Proportions feel balanced and open, with generous apertures and smooth bowls that keep counters clear in both uppercase and lowercase. The rhythm is even and airy, supported by consistent stroke behavior and restrained detailing that favors clarity over display quirks. Numerals follow the same straightforward construction, reading cleanly alongside text.
It suits editorial layouts, reports, and presentation typography where a refined italic is needed for emphasis or a contemporary voice. The open shapes and measured spacing also make it a good candidate for UI labels, captions, and secondary branding lines that need to remain clean at smaller sizes.
The overall tone is contemporary and understated, with a calm, professional voice. Its slant adds a sense of motion and emphasis without becoming expressive or decorative, making it feel more editorial than playful.
The design appears intended as a practical italic companion with a modern, humanist-leaning sans structure. It prioritizes legibility and a smooth reading texture while offering a subtle forward slant for emphasis and tone.
The italic angle is steady across cases, and the rounded forms (notably in letters like C, O, S, and e) help maintain a soft texture on the line. Diagonal-heavy capitals and open lowercase shapes contribute to an unobtrusive, readable color in longer passages.
