A slanted sans with smooth, rounded construction and clean, continuous curves. Strokes are even and steady, with minimal modulation and a crisp, contemporary finish. Counters are open and circular/elliptical, terminals are largely straightforward, and diagonals feel taut and consistent, giving the letters a streamlined rhythm. Overall spacing reads balanced and uncluttered, supporting clear word shapes in running text.
Well-suited to modern branding systems, marketing headlines, and short-to-medium text where a built-in sense of motion is desirable. It can work effectively in UI elements, product pages, and promotional graphics where clarity and a contemporary tone are priorities.
The italic angle adds motion and urgency while the rounded geometry keeps the tone approachable and modern. It reads as contemporary and efficient rather than decorative, with a subtle sporty/tech feel that stays neutral enough for general interface and branding use.
Likely designed as a versatile italic companion for modern sans typography, aiming to deliver emphasis and forward movement without sacrificing clarity. The rounded geometry and consistent stroke behavior suggest an intention to remain broadly usable across digital and print contexts.
The slant is pronounced enough to signal emphasis on its own, making it useful where you want an italic voice that still remains highly legible. Round forms (like O/C/e) and straightforward joins contribute to a smooth texture, while sharp diagonals (like V/W/X/Y) add energy and definition.
