A very slender, monoline sans with a consistent rightward slant and rounded-rectangle (superelliptic) geometry throughout. Curves are softly squared rather than purely circular, and terminals tend to be gently rounded, giving the outlines a clean, engineered feel. Counters are open and the spacing reads even, with a smooth rhythm across mixed-case text; capitals stay simple and upright in construction while the italic angle adds motion. Figures are similarly streamlined, with oval forms built from the same softened-rectilinear curves and minimal detailing.
Well suited to contemporary branding and editorial settings where a light, italic voice can add elegance and forward motion. It can work effectively for headlines, pull quotes, and short blocks of text, as well as UI labels and product packaging where a clean, soft-tech aesthetic is desired.
The overall tone is light, quiet, and contemporary—more refined than playful. Its soft-cornered forms and restrained construction suggest a measured, design-forward voice that feels modern and slightly technical without becoming cold.
The design appears intended to merge a minimalist italic sans with superelliptic round forms, producing a distinctive yet restrained texture. It prioritizes smooth rhythm, open shapes, and a refined slant to convey modernity and lightness.
Distinctive superelliptic rounding is especially noticeable in rounded letters and bowls, creating a subtle “squircle” character that differentiates it from standard geometric italics. The thin strokes and clean joins favor clarity at larger sizes and lend a delicate, sophisticated texture in paragraphs.
