A slanted, monoline sans with softly rounded curves and clean, tapered terminals. The geometry mixes circular bowls with gently humanist modulation in joins and diagonals, keeping counters open and shapes uncluttered. Uppercase forms are straightforward and spacious, while the lowercase shows a more calligraphic rhythm, with single-storey a and g and a long, descending f that adds movement. Numerals follow the same oblique, streamlined construction, reading clearly with simple strokes and rounded turns.
Works well for editorial typography, brand systems, and product/UI contexts where a slanted sans can provide emphasis without feeling decorative. It’s also suitable for captions, pull quotes, and headline settings that benefit from a clean, modern italic presence.
The overall tone is contemporary and understated, with a light, breezy cadence that feels polished rather than loud. Its steady stroke and generous spacing give it a calm, editorial voice suited to sophisticated, minimal layouts.
Likely designed as a versatile italic sans that can carry both display and text roles, combining geometric clarity with a slightly humanist, readable rhythm. The aim appears to be a refined, contemporary voice with smooth curves and unobtrusive detailing.
The italic angle is consistent across cases and figures, creating a cohesive forward motion in text. Curves (C, G, O, S) stay smooth and even, and diagonals (K, V, W, X, Y) feel crisp without becoming sharp or aggressive.
