A smooth, oblique sans with rounded bowls and gently tapered terminals that keep strokes feeling soft rather than mechanical. Curves are broad and even, with open apertures and generous counters that support clarity in running text. The italic angle is consistent across capitals and lowercase, and the rhythm stays steady despite slightly individualized widths from letter to letter. Figures follow the same rounded, flowing construction, matching the text color and overall pace.
Works well for interface text, navigation, and short UI labels when an italic voice is needed without sacrificing legibility. It also suits branding, packaging, and editorial subheads where a modern, friendly oblique can add emphasis and momentum. Larger sizes highlight its smooth curves and open shapes for posters and display callouts.
The overall tone is contemporary and approachable, with an energetic slant that adds motion without becoming flashy. It reads as friendly and practical, suitable for designs that want warmth and modernity rather than strict neutrality.
The design appears intended as a versatile italic companion with a modern sans foundation, prioritizing clear counters, open apertures, and an easy reading rhythm while providing a distinctly active, forward-leaning tone.
Capitals are clean and compact with rounded transitions, while lowercase forms lean more humanist, giving the face a conversational texture. The slanted construction is reinforced by diagonals in letters like k, v, w, x, and y, which contribute to a lively, forward-moving line.
