A slanted sans with rounded, gently elliptical construction and low-contrast strokes. Curves feel smooth and slightly soft at the terminals, while straight strokes keep a clean, modern simplicity. Proportions are balanced with a moderate x-height and open internal spaces, giving letters a clear, airy rhythm. The italic angle is consistent and the overall texture stays even across uppercase, lowercase, and figures.
Well-suited to contemporary branding and packaging where a friendly, energetic voice is needed. The steady italic rhythm works nicely for headlines and short editorial passages, and the open counters and moderate x-height help it remain readable in UI labels and interface text when set with comfortable spacing.
The overall tone is lively and conversational, with a friendly warmth coming from the rounded forms and relaxed slant. It reads as modern and accessible rather than formal, suggesting motion and ease without becoming overly playful.
The design appears intended to deliver a clean sans-serif voice with added motion and personality through a consistent slant and rounded construction. It aims for everyday readability while projecting an approachable, modern character for display and text-forward applications.
Uppercase shapes are straightforward and geometric-leaning, while the lowercase introduces more humanist softness, which helps paragraphs feel less rigid. Numerals follow the same rounded, slightly condensed feel, maintaining consistency with the letterforms in continuous text.
