A monoline, oblique sans with a geometric foundation and rounded bowls. Curves are smooth and near-circular, while straight strokes are slightly angled, giving the face a consistent forward slant and a brisk rhythm. Terminals are clean and unadorned, with a generally open, uncluttered construction; counters stay generous and punctuation-like details (such as the i/j dots) are compact and neat. Numerals follow the same streamlined logic, with simple curves and minimal detailing for a cohesive alphanumeric color.
Well-suited to editorial headlines, subheads, and brand typography where a clean, contemporary italic voice is desired. It can also work in UI or product contexts for short bursts of text—labels, navigation, and feature callouts—where a light, refined slant helps create hierarchy without heavy emphasis.
The overall tone is modern and composed, with an airy, understated elegance. Its slanted stance adds motion and a subtle editorial flair without feeling decorative, keeping the voice clear and professional.
Likely intended as a contemporary oblique companion for a sans system: polished enough for branding and editorial work, while restrained and geometric enough to remain versatile and legible in everyday design layouts.
The design balances roundness with disciplined stroke endings, producing a smooth texture in longer lines. The forward angle is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures, supporting a uniform, cohesive typographic voice.
