A slanted sans with smooth, rounded curves and largely geometric construction. Strokes are even and clean, with generous apertures and simplified joins that keep counters open. Capitals feel broad and stable while remaining slightly forward-leaning; lowercase forms are compact and energetic, with single-storey shapes where expected and a concise, efficient rhythm. Numerals are clear and contemporary, with round figures and straightforward terminals that match the overall oblique flow.
Well-suited to brand identities and marketing where a clean, contemporary italic voice is needed. It performs strongly in headlines, posters, and short-to-medium text blocks, and can also work for UI labels and product packaging where clarity and a sense of motion are desirable.
The overall tone is modern and energetic, with a forward-leaning stance that suggests motion. Rounded geometry and open counters keep it approachable and readable rather than technical or severe, making it feel contemporary and upbeat.
Designed to provide a versatile oblique sans that reads cleanly while adding momentum and emphasis. The rounded, geometric foundations appear intended to maintain legibility and friendliness while delivering a modern, active tone for display and brand-forward typography.
The italic angle is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, producing a cohesive texture in text. Curves (notably in C, G, O/Q and the rounded numerals) are smooth and continuous, while straight strokes remain crisp, giving a balanced, polished appearance.
