This is a slanted sans with smooth, rounded bowls and a lightly mechanical construction. Strokes are clean and fairly even with subtle modulation, and terminals are mostly straight or softly rounded rather than flared. Counters are open and the forms stay airy, with generous spacing and a steady rhythm in text. Curves are drawn from near-circular geometry, while diagonals (A, V, W, Y, k) feel crisp and decisive, giving the design a streamlined, forward-leaning silhouette.
Well-suited for UI labels, navigation, and product surfaces where a clean sans italic is needed for emphasis without becoming ornate. It also works in branding and packaging that want a contemporary, streamlined voice, and in editorial pull quotes or subheads where the slant can add pace. For longer text, it performs best where a modern, unobtrusive italic texture is desired.
The overall tone is modern and efficient, with a calm, professional feel rather than expressive or decorative flair. The italic angle adds motion and a sense of speed, while the rounded geometry keeps it approachable. It reads as contemporary and utilitarian, suitable for interfaces and clean editorial layouts.
The design appears intended as a practical italic companion with a modern, rounded sans structure—prioritizing clarity, consistent rhythm, and a polished contemporary look. Its geometry and restrained modulation suggest a focus on versatility across digital and print contexts while keeping an energetic, forward-leaning presence.
Letterforms show consistent slant across capitals, lowercase, and figures, producing a cohesive oblique texture. The lowercase includes simple, single-storey constructions where expected (notably the a), and the figures appear clean and contemporary, matching the font’s rounded/linear balance. The sample text demonstrates stable readability at paragraph sizes, with clear word shapes and minimal visual noise.
