A slanted sans with smooth, superelliptic curves and crisp terminals, balancing rounded bowls with straighter vertical strokes. Letterforms show open apertures and clear internal counters, with a relatively large x-height and modest ascenders/descenders that keep the texture compact. The rhythm is even and legible in text, while slightly varied character widths and generous curves prevent it from feeling rigid. Numerals and capitals share the same clean, rounded-rect geometry, producing a cohesive, contemporary tone.
Well suited to interface typography, product websites, dashboards, and general-purpose editorial layouts where a contemporary sans with an oblique voice is desired. It can also work for branding and headlines when you want a clean, forward-leaning feel without high contrast or decorative details.
The overall impression is modern and pragmatic, with an energetic forward lean that adds motion without becoming expressive or calligraphic. Its rounded geometry reads friendly and approachable, yet the clean construction keeps it professional and tech-adjacent.
The design appears intended to provide a versatile italic sans that stays highly readable in paragraphs while expressing subtle momentum. The superelliptic construction suggests a goal of combining friendly rounded forms with a precise, engineered finish appropriate for modern digital environments.
Diagonal strokes (notably in A, K, V, W, X, Y) are sharply defined, contrasting nicely with the softly rounded bowls in C, O, Q, and lowercase forms. The italic angle is consistent across cases, and spacing appears tuned for continuous reading rather than display-only settings.
