A slanted sans with smooth, rounded construction and consistently low stroke contrast. Curves are generous and open, with soft, slightly tapered terminals that keep the texture fluid rather than rigid. Uppercase forms are straightforward and legible, while the lowercase shows a more humanist rhythm with rounded bowls and gently angled joins. Numerals follow the same rounded, contemporary logic, producing an even, readable line in longer settings.
Well suited to interface and product typography where a clean, contemporary italic voice is needed, as well as branding and marketing materials that benefit from an energetic, friendly tone. It can also work for headlines and short paragraphs where the slant and rounded forms help maintain readability while adding emphasis.
The overall tone is modern and friendly, with the italic slant adding energy and forward motion. Its soft geometry and open counters feel approachable and contemporary rather than technical or severe.
Likely designed as a versatile italic sans that stays neutral enough for everyday use while adding motion and warmth through rounded geometry and open, humanist proportions.
The letterforms maintain a steady, cohesive rhythm across cases, and the slant is consistent enough to read as an intentional italic style rather than an oblique. Round glyphs like O/Q and bowls in b/p/d/q appear notably circular, contributing to a smooth page color in paragraph text.
