A monoline sans with a consistent rightward slant and smooth, rounded construction. Curves are drawn with even, continuous strokes, producing soft terminals and clean joins; straight strokes feel slightly calligraphic due to the overall inclination. Counters are generous and open, with clear, airy spacing and unobtrusive diagonals that keep forms crisp in both capitals and lowercase. Figures follow the same simplified, rounded logic, with unobtrusive curvature and straightforward silhouettes.
Well-suited to interface typography, captions, and editorial sidebars where a clean italic voice is needed without added ornament. It can also support contemporary branding and presentation materials, providing a streamlined, professional tone while remaining readable in longer passages.
The overall tone is modern and understated, balancing a slightly informal italic rhythm with a clean, engineered clarity. It reads as calm and contemporary rather than expressive or decorative, giving text a gentle sense of motion without becoming flashy.
The font appears intended as a practical italic companion for modern sans typography, emphasizing clarity, smooth geometry, and an unobtrusive, contemporary rhythm for everyday text setting.
The design favors open shapes and smooth transitions, which helps maintain legibility in running text while preserving a sleek, minimalist texture. The slant is consistent across letters and numerals, supporting a cohesive typographic color.
