A monoline, right-slanted sans with smooth curves and softly rounded terminals. Uppercase forms are simplified and open, with generous interior counters and a calm, even rhythm. The lowercase is compact with a steady x-height and clear, unobtrusive joins; rounded letters stay elliptical rather than geometric, and stems keep a consistent thickness. Numerals follow the same gentle, streamlined construction, with open shapes and minimal ornamentation for an overall tidy texture in text.
Well-suited to interface copy, dashboards, and product typography where a friendly italic voice is needed without visual noise. It also fits editorial pull quotes, presentations, and lightweight branding systems that want a modern, approachable tone. In longer passages it maintains an even texture, making it useful for captions and supporting text where clarity and softness are both desirable.
The tone is contemporary and relaxed, balancing clarity with a casual slant that feels personable rather than formal. Its restrained construction reads clean and efficient, while the rounded finishing details add warmth.
The design appears intended as a versatile italic sans for general-purpose communication, offering a clean reading experience with a subtle humanist warmth. Its simplified shapes and consistent stroke behavior suggest a focus on legibility and a smooth typographic flow in running text.
Diagonal strokes and curves keep a consistent forward motion, helping lines of text feel fluid. The design favors open forms and simple construction, producing a light, breathable color on the page without calling attention to individual letterforms.
