A slanted, monoline sans with smooth, rounded construction and open counters. Curves are broadly elliptical and terminals are clean and unembellished, producing a crisp silhouette with minimal contrast. The uppercase feels straightforward and evenly paced, while the lowercase introduces a more humanist rhythm through single-storey forms and gently tapered joins. Numerals follow the same simple, rounded logic, keeping the overall texture light and consistent in running text.
Well suited for interfaces, dashboards, and product copy where an italic voice is needed without sacrificing clarity. It also works for editorial sidebars, pull quotes, and brand systems that want a clean sans with gentle motion, and it holds up in captions and presentation typography at small to medium sizes.
The font conveys a modern, practical tone with a restrained, editorial polish. Its slant adds momentum and emphasis without feeling dramatic, making the overall impression calm, contemporary, and workmanlike rather than expressive or decorative.
The design appears intended as a utilitarian italic sans: neutral in tone, easily readable, and consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures. Its rounded construction and open shapes suggest an aim toward smooth texture and dependable performance in continuous text.
The default spacing reads slightly airy, helping maintain clarity in italics and preventing dark spots in text. Letterforms lean consistently, and the family’s rounded geometry keeps word shapes smooth and continuous across mixed case and numerals.
