A clean, monoline sans with a consistent oblique slant and compact proportions. Strokes stay even and smooth, with rounded turns and open, softly elliptical counters that keep forms legible despite the narrow set. Capitals are simple and geometric with minimal modulation, while lowercase shapes are compact and slightly calligraphic in rhythm, showing gentle curves and restrained terminals. Numerals follow the same even-stroke logic, with rounded bowls and straightforward construction that reads clearly in text sizes.
Works well for compact interface text, captions, and short editorial passages where an oblique emphasis is desired without the heaviness of a bold italic. It can also suit contemporary branding and packaging that benefits from a clean, friendly tone and efficient horizontal footprint.
The overall tone feels modern and approachable, with a light, easygoing italic energy rather than a formal, high-contrast scriptiness. Its slant and rounded geometry suggest motion and friendliness, making it feel informal and contemporary without becoming playful or quirky.
Designed to provide a streamlined, readable italic sans voice with minimal stroke contrast and a smooth geometric backbone. The intent appears to balance clarity and economy of space while maintaining a relaxed, contemporary texture in continuous text.
The spacing and proportions create an airy texture in running text, with noticeably compact lowercase height relative to ascenders and capitals. Letterforms rely on simple curves and straight segments, producing a steady rhythm that stays calm and uncluttered across both all-caps and mixed-case settings.
