A slanted sans with clean, low-contrast strokes and gently rounded joins that keep counters open and forms legible. The geometry leans toward simple circular and elliptical construction, but with humanist modulation in details like the bowls and diagonals. Uppercase letters are compact and steady, while lowercase shows a slightly more fluid rhythm, with single-storey forms and broad, open shapes. Numerals follow the same smooth, unobtrusive construction, with clear interior spaces and a consistent forward lean.
Well-suited for interface labels, navigation, and product surfaces where a clean italic voice is needed without added ornament. It also works effectively in headlines and subheads for marketing and editorial layouts, especially when a sense of momentum or emphasis is desired.
The overall tone is contemporary and approachable, projecting motion and informality without becoming playful or decorative. Its slant adds energy and emphasis, making the voice feel active and conversational while staying neat and controlled.
Likely designed as a practical italic companion for modern sans typography, balancing geometric clarity with comfortable readability. The aim appears to be a versatile, energetic style that can emphasize text and support contemporary branding while remaining restrained.
Diagonal letters (like K, V, W, X, Y) read crisp and even, and round letters maintain consistent counter shapes across sizes. The slant is strong enough to signal emphasis in running text, yet the letterforms remain straightforward and uncluttered.
