A monoline sans with a consistent rightward slant and softly rounded terminals. Curves are drawn with smooth, circular geometry and generous apertures, giving counters an open, breathable feel. Proportions are clean and contemporary, with simple construction in the capitals and a slightly more fluid, calligraphic cadence in the lowercase. Spacing appears even and light, emphasizing clarity and a delicate texture across lines of text.
Well-suited to editorial settings, brand systems, and packaging where a light, modern tone is desired. It can work effectively for UI accents, short paragraphs, and captions, particularly when ample size and spacing preserve its delicate stroke presence.
The overall tone is quiet and elegant, with a subtle sophistication that feels contemporary and unobtrusive. Its slanted stance adds motion and friendliness without becoming expressive or decorative, projecting a calm, polished voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary italic sans that stays minimal and highly legible while adding a gentle sense of motion. Its rounded geometry and restrained detailing suggest a focus on neutrality, cleanliness, and an elegant texture in running text.
Distinctive details include a single-storey lowercase “a,” compact rounded bowls on letters like “b/d/p/q,” and numerals that keep the same thin, rounded stroke character (notably the open, curved forms of “2” and “3”). The italic angle is steady and contributes to a smooth rhythm in continuous reading.
