A slanted, monoline sans with smooth, rounded curves and restrained, straightforward construction. Strokes stay even and crisp, with gently softened terminals that keep the texture calm and consistent. Uppercase forms are clean and relatively geometric, while the lowercase introduces a more humanist rhythm through single-storey shapes (notably the a and g) and open apertures. The overall silhouette reads compact and tidy, with simple numerals and clear counters that hold up well at text sizes.
Works well for UI copy, product and marketing collateral, and editorial text where a clean sans with a gentle italic voice is desired. The open lowercase shapes and even stroke weight support readability in short-to-medium passages, while the slant makes it useful for emphasis, pull quotes, and energetic headings.
The font conveys a contemporary, approachable tone—more friendly than austere—while still feeling efficient and systematic. Its slant adds motion and emphasis without becoming flamboyant, giving it a light, forward-leaning energy suited to modern interfaces and brand voices.
Designed to provide a modern italic sans that remains highly legible and neutral, balancing geometric smoothness with subtle humanist cues for approachability. The goal appears to be a dependable, everyday workhorse with a polished, contemporary rhythm.
Round letters (like C, O, Q) show smooth, circular bowls, and the italic angle is consistent across cases and figures, producing an even diagonal rhythm in paragraphs. The lowercase t is minimal and the dot on i/j is clean and centered, contributing to a neat, uncluttered appearance.
