A slanted sans with smooth, rounded construction and gently tapered terminals. Strokes stay even and calm, with soft curves and open counters that keep letters from feeling tight. The italics feel integrated rather than calligraphic, with a consistent rightward lean and simple, uncluttered joins. Overall spacing reads airy and comfortable, and the forms lean toward circular geometry in C/G/O and similarly rounded lowercase shapes.
It suits interface and product text where a subtle italic voice is needed without becoming decorative, and works well for editorial subheads, pull quotes, and short-to-medium passages. The rounded, open shapes also make it a good fit for contemporary branding and packaging that aims for clarity with a friendly edge.
The tone is modern and approachable, balancing a crisp, editorial cleanliness with a relaxed, conversational slant. It feels friendly and unobtrusive—more personable than a rigid geometric italic, but still tidy and professional.
The design appears intended as a versatile italic sans that reads cleanly at text sizes while adding a mild sense of motion and personality. Rounded geometry and open apertures suggest an emphasis on readability and an approachable, modern voice.
Uppercase forms are straightforward and rounded, while the lowercase keeps a simple, single-storey look where applicable and maintains clear differentiation between similar shapes. Numerals are smooth and legible with the same gentle curvature and slanted rhythm as the letters, supporting consistent texture in mixed text.
