A monoline italic sans with smooth, rounded terminals and gently squared curves that read as superellipse-like rather than perfectly circular. The letterforms are open and spacious, with restrained apertures and steady stroke behavior that stays consistent across straight and curved segments. Capitals are streamlined and geometric; bowls and counters (notably in B, D, O, P, R) are cleanly proportioned, while diagonals (A, K, V, W, X, Y) are crisp and lightly tensioned. Numerals follow the same minimal, rounded construction, with simple, readable shapes and a subtle forward slant that unifies the set.
Works well in branding and identity systems that want a clean, progressive feel, as well as editorial headlines, pull quotes, and packaging where a delicate italic voice can signal elegance. It also suits UI or product display text at comfortable sizes where its openness and consistent stroke can maintain clarity without feeling heavy.
The overall tone is light, contemporary, and refined—more editorial and design-led than utilitarian. Its italic angle adds a sense of motion and sophistication while the rounded geometry keeps it approachable and non-aggressive.
Likely designed to provide a sleek italic companion with a modern geometric foundation, prioritizing smooth readability and a polished, contemporary silhouette. The rounded-rectangle curvature and uniform strokes suggest an intention to balance precision with softness for versatile, design-forward typography.
The rhythm is driven by generous spacing and smooth curvature, producing an even, quiet texture in continuous text. Round forms tend to look slightly squared-off at extremes, and joins remain clean and uncluttered, reinforcing a minimalist, geometric voice.
