A slanted sans with smooth, rounded bowls and a consistent, geometric construction. Strokes are clean and fairly even, with subtle modulation visible in curved joins and terminals, giving the letters a controlled, polished rhythm. Counters are open and well-defined, and the lowercase shows compact, upright forms translated into an italic slope rather than calligraphic cursive behavior. Figures follow the same streamlined logic, with simple, legible silhouettes that sit comfortably alongside the text.
It works well for UI and product text where an italic is needed for emphasis without sacrificing readability. The clean geometry also suits contemporary branding, headlines, short editorial passages, and directional or informational signage where a fast, slanted voice is desirable.
The overall tone is contemporary and utilitarian, projecting clarity and forward motion through its italic angle. It feels neutral and professional rather than expressive, with a mild technical flavor suited to modern interfaces and brand systems.
This design appears intended as a modern italic companion with a restrained, geometric voice—prioritizing legibility, consistent texture, and a sense of motion while keeping forms simple and contemporary.
The italic slant is steady across the set, and the alphabet maintains a consistent width pattern that adds a subtle, lively cadence in words without looking erratic. Rounded shapes (notably in O/C/G and the lowercase bowls) keep the texture smooth at text sizes, while sharp diagonals in letters like A, V, W, X add crispness and momentum.
