A slanted, monoline sans with smooth, rounded curves and clean joins. Letterforms are built from simple geometric arcs with subtly humanist proportions, producing open counters and generous interior space in rounded glyphs. Strokes stay even through curves and diagonals, with tapered-looking terminals created mainly by angle and rounding rather than contrast. Capitals are straightforward and airy, while lowercase maintains a calm rhythm with clear, uncluttered shapes and modest ascenders and descenders.
It suits interface typography, product branding, and editorial headlines where a clean italic voice is needed without calling attention to ornament. The even stroke and open forms make it a good choice for captions and short-to-medium text blocks, especially in layouts that benefit from a streamlined, modern texture.
The overall tone is contemporary and matter-of-fact, leaning toward a sleek, utilitarian voice rather than expressive or decorative. Its consistent slant adds motion and a mild sense of forward momentum, while the open forms keep it approachable and easygoing.
The design appears intended as a practical italic sans for contemporary communication: clear shapes, steady rhythm, and a restrained, modern character. The emphasis is on legibility and a cohesive slanted stance that reads efficiently in both display and text settings.
Numerals follow the same smooth, oblique construction and feel balanced alongside the letters, with rounded forms that keep a steady texture in running text. Spacing appears even and the design avoids abrupt angles, emphasizing a continuous, flowing silhouette.
