Identify Schriftlabor’s contemporary neo-grotesque
The June account credits Lisa Schultz and Ross Hammond. It describes research into Frutiger’s typeforms, near-uniform strokes, open counters and apertures, angular stem cuts and a large x-height. These are construction details to inspect in the original family, not a guarantee about a particular reader’s medical or accessibility needs.
Compare the actual italic rather than applying a slant
The publisher documents seven weights from Thin to Bold and redrawn italics inclined at eight degrees. Set June and Open doors upright, then switch the subtitle to the matching italic in the same weight. Inspect the a, e and i as actual letterforms rather than judging only the slope. Keep an upright control beside it so the application’s synthetic slant is not confused with the supplied italic.
Proof a small heading-and-caption system
Use one weight for the heading and another for the short caption, recording the family and style names in the handoff. Assess the actual output size and wording without making clinical claims. Inter and Open Sans are independent comparisons here. The homepage’s stylized Unicode text offers portable character substitutions; it does not reproduce June’s redrawn italic or establish the same spacing and coverage.
Your questions, answered.
Who designed June?

Is the supplied italic only an automatic slant?
The publisher describes redrawn italic styles. Select the actual matching style rather than assuming a synthetic slant is equivalent.
