A slanted, monoline sans with softly squared curves and rounded terminals that give it a superelliptical, rounded-rectangle feel. Strokes remain even with minimal modulation, and the shapes favor open, readable counters with generous rounding at joins. Uppercase forms are simple and streamlined, while the lowercase shows a gentle humanist rhythm with single-storey a and g, a curved-tailed y, and a hooked f and j. Numerals follow the same smooth construction, with rounded bowls and unobtrusive, softened angles that keep the texture consistent across mixed content.
Works well for user interfaces, product branding, and contemporary editorial layouts where a clean italic is needed for emphasis or voice. The open counters and restrained forms also suit captions, presentations, and short blocks of text that benefit from a smooth, modern texture.
The overall tone is contemporary and approachable, balancing a technical cleanliness with a mild, friendly warmth. Its italic angle reads purposeful rather than dramatic, producing a calm forward motion suited to modern interface and editorial accents without feeling ornamental.
Likely designed to deliver a modern italic sans that feels precise yet approachable, using rounded-rectangle geometry to create distinctive softness while preserving clarity in continuous reading. The consistent stroke treatment and simplified constructions suggest an emphasis on legibility and an even typographic rhythm across letters and numbers.
Letterforms lean on rounded-rectangle geometry, especially in bowls like C, D, O, and e, which appear more squircle-like than purely circular. Terminals are consistently softened, and diagonals (V, W, X, Y) are kept crisp yet rounded at their ends, helping maintain an even, understated typographic color in text.
