A slanted sans with a humanist, rounded construction and gently modulated curves. Strokes stay even and smooth, with open counters and generous spacing that keep forms clear at text sizes. The capitals are simple and upright in structure but consistently obliqued, while the lowercase shows a single-storey “a” and “g” and softly curved terminals that avoid sharp cutoffs. Numerals are similarly round and readable, with an oval “0” and straightforward, lightly angled figures that match the overall rhythm.
Well-suited for interface typography, product copy, and branding systems that need a clean italic voice with good readability. It can work effectively for editorial subheads, pull quotes, and captions where an oblique sans is needed to add emphasis while maintaining a neutral, modern texture.
The overall tone is contemporary and approachable, balancing clarity with a relaxed, conversational slant. Its soft geometry and open shapes feel friendly rather than technical, making it easygoing without becoming playful or decorative.
The design appears intended as a versatile italic companion for contemporary sans systems—prioritizing clarity and smooth reading rhythm while adding a personable, humanist warmth through rounded shapes and open apertures.
The italic angle is steady across the character set and pairs with rounded joins to create a smooth left-to-right flow. Wide, open forms (notably in letters like C, S, and e) emphasize legibility, while the simplified, modern lettershapes keep the texture even in paragraphs.
