A monolinear italic sans with generously rounded curves and open apertures. The forms lean consistently to the right with smooth, continuous stroke flow and minimal modulation, giving the letters a calm, even color on the page. Round characters (C, O, Q, e, o) read as clean ellipses, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y) are straight and crisp, creating a balanced mix of soft curves and sharp joins. Counters are roomy and terminals are cleanly cut, supporting clear word shapes in running text.
Well-suited to modern branding systems, editorial layouts, and packaging where a clean italic voice can add motion and elegance. The open counters and rounded construction also make it a viable choice for UI labels, short paragraphs, and display typography where a soft, contemporary tone is desired.
The overall tone is contemporary and approachable, with a light, breezy rhythm created by the slant and wide, open forms. It feels polished and tech-forward without becoming rigid, retaining a gentle friendliness through its rounded geometry.
Likely designed to provide a streamlined italic companion with geometric clarity and a welcoming, rounded personality. The emphasis appears to be on smooth readability and a modern, spacious texture rather than sharp austerity or high-contrast drama.
Letterforms maintain consistent spacing and a steady slanted axis, which helps lines of text feel fluid and continuous. Numerals follow the same smooth, rounded construction, with particularly open bowls on 6/8/9 that match the lowercase’s circularity.
