A slanted, monoline sans with smooth, rounded curves and crisp joins. The letterforms are moderately narrow with a noticeably tall x-height, giving lowercase forms strong presence and clear rhythm in text. Strokes stay even and calm, with gently tapered or angled terminals that keep the texture lively without introducing sharp contrast. Counters are open and elliptical, and the overall spacing reads airy and consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures.
Works well for UI labels, navigation, and product copy where a clean italic voice is needed without sacrificing readability. It also suits editorial subheads, pull quotes, and marketing materials that benefit from a modern, slightly dynamic tone. The tall x-height supports smaller sizes for captions and dense layouts, while the even stroke makes it dependable for on-screen and print text blocks.
The overall tone is contemporary and efficient, with an energetic forward lean that suggests motion and clarity. It feels neutral and professional rather than decorative, suited to interfaces and editorial contexts where a subtle sense of speed or emphasis is desired.
The design appears intended as a versatile italic sans for continuous reading and emphasis, combining straightforward geometric construction with a subtle humanist flow. It aims to deliver a modern, neutral texture with enough forward motion to stand out in interfaces and editorial typography without becoming stylistic or flashy.
Uppercase shapes remain simple and geometric, while the lowercase shows a more humanist cadence—especially in the flowing shoulders and bowls. Numerals follow the same oblique, rounded construction, with smooth curves and a readable, unobtrusive presence in running text.
