A slanted, monoline sans with smooth, rounded construction and restrained detailing. Curves are clean and elliptical, with open counters and generally generous apertures that keep letters from closing up in text. Proportions feel balanced with a moderate x-height and clear ascender/descender reach; several uppercase forms are broad and geometric while the lowercase keeps a slightly more human rhythm. Terminals are mostly plain and uncluttered, and the overall spacing reads airy and even, supporting a smooth horizontal flow.
Works well for brand systems and marketing where a clean italic voice is needed, as well as editorial pull quotes, subheads, and short-to-medium text blocks. Its open shapes and even rhythm also suit interface labels, product packaging, and presentation typography where clarity and a modern tone are priorities.
The tone is contemporary and understated, with an editorial, polished feel driven by the consistent slant and rounded geometry. It reads as friendly without becoming playful, and professional without feeling rigid.
The design appears intended as a versatile italic sans for contemporary communication, emphasizing smooth geometry, legibility, and a balanced, neutral texture that can serve both display accents and everyday text.
Figures follow the same rounded, open logic as the letters, staying simple and readable in a text setting. The slant is steady and consistent across capitals, lowercase, and numerals, giving a cohesive forward-leaning texture.
