A slanted sans with smooth, round-leaning construction and gently squared curves, showing consistent stroke weight and open counters. The italic angle is steady across caps and lowercase, with a slightly humanist rhythm: bowls are full and clear, joins stay uncomplicated, and terminals are clean without decorative finishing. Proportions feel balanced rather than condensed, with straightforward numerals and a generally even texture in running text.
Works well for interface copy, product and marketing text, and editorial settings where an italic voice is needed without becoming stylized. The clear, open shapes support captions, charts, and short-to-medium passages, and it can also serve as a modern accent for branding and headlines.
The overall tone is contemporary and easygoing, combining a utilitarian clarity with a subtle sense of motion from the consistent slant. It reads as friendly and unobtrusive, suitable for workmanlike communication while still feeling modern and active.
Likely designed as a practical italic companion for general-purpose sans typography—prioritizing readability, steady rhythm, and a modern appearance while keeping the character set visually consistent and understated.
In the sample text, the spacing and shapes produce a smooth, continuous flow, and the slant contributes to a cohesive forward-leaning cadence. Round letters (like o/e) stay open and legible, while straight-sided forms maintain a crisp, simple silhouette that keeps the style neutral.
