A slanted, monoline sans with broad proportions and smooth, geometric construction. Curves are drawn with near-uniform stroke weight and generous rounding, producing open counters and a light, airy color in text. Terminals are clean and mostly unadorned, with a slightly calligraphic lean created by the consistent italic angle rather than contrast. Uppercase forms feel spacious and calm, while the lowercase maintains clear, simple silhouettes with straightforward bowls and stems.
Well-suited to brand identities and display typography where a clean, modern italic voice is desired. It works especially well for headlines, posters, and short editorial passages where the wide spacing and open forms can breathe. The even strokes and geometric curves also make it a good fit for packaging and contemporary marketing collateral.
The overall tone is contemporary and relaxed, balancing a technical, geometric foundation with an approachable softness. Its italic slant adds motion and a slightly conversational feel, making it read as energetic without becoming expressive or decorative.
The design appears intended to provide a modern, geometric sans italic with a light visual footprint and generous width, delivering clarity and a sleek rhythm in both uppercase-led layouts and mixed-case text.
The numerals and capitals share the same smooth, even stroke behavior, helping the set feel consistent across mixed text. The wide set and open shapes create strong legibility at larger sizes and give headlines a distinct, streamlined presence.
