A slanted sans with smooth, rounded construction and a consistent, low-contrast stroke. Curves are generous and open, with subtly tapered terminals that keep forms light and breathable. The italic angle is noticeable but not extreme, giving letters a forward rhythm while preserving clarity. Proportions feel balanced, with circular bowls, a tidy shoulder on forms like n and r, and straightforward, legible numerals.
Well-suited to interface copy, captions, and general-purpose reading text where a gentle italic voice is needed. It also works effectively for contemporary branding and editorial layouts that benefit from a light, personable emphasis without becoming decorative.
The overall tone is modern and approachable, with an easy, conversational feel. Its soft curves and steady slant read as friendly and contemporary rather than formal or technical.
Designed to provide a clean, readable italic sans that feels more human and flowing than a rigid geometric approach. The intention appears to balance everyday legibility with a subtle sense of motion for emphasis and tone.
The italic styling is clearly built-in (not simply a mechanical slant), visible in the flowing joins and the livelier cursive-like movement of letters such as a, f, and y. Counters stay open in C, e, and s, supporting readability, while the rounded shapes maintain an even color in words and lines of text.
