A slanted, rounded sans with open counters and gently softened terminals. Strokes are smooth and even, with a slightly calligraphic feel created by the consistent rightward lean and subtle modulation in curves rather than sharp angles. Capitals are simple and geometric with broad arcs and straightforward joins, while the lowercase shows more humanist structure—single-storey forms, generous apertures, and flowing shoulders that keep texture light and continuous. Figures follow the same rounded construction, with clear, uncluttered shapes suited to running text.
Well-suited to editorial layouts, product copy, and brand systems that want an italic voice that remains clean and legible. It can also work in UI and digital text where a slanted emphasis style is needed without becoming decorative, and it performs nicely in short paragraphs, captions, and marketing materials.
The overall tone is contemporary and approachable, balancing a polished, modern surface with an informal italic liveliness. It reads friendly and quick, with a mild editorial flavor rather than a rigid technical one.
The design appears aimed at providing an italic sans that feels modern and readable while retaining a human, handwritten momentum. Its rounded construction and open forms suggest a focus on clarity and approachability in continuous reading.
The spacing and rhythm feel even and breathable, producing a smooth line of text with minimal spikiness. Round letters stay notably circular, and diagonals (like in v, w, y) are clean and calm, supporting a consistent, unobtrusive texture in paragraphs.
