A very light, monoline sans with a consistent oblique slant and soft, rounded stroke endings. Forms lean toward circular and elliptical construction, with open apertures and generous internal counters that keep letters clear at small sizes. Uppercase shapes are simple and restrained, while the lowercase shows a friendly, humanist rhythm—single-storey a and g, tall ascenders, and smooth, continuous curves. Numerals are similarly streamlined, with a simple 1 and open, rounded figures that match the letterforms.
Well-suited for user-interface labels, captions, and short editorial passages where a light, unobtrusive italic voice is useful. It can also work for contemporary branding and packaging that benefits from an airy, friendly tone, especially in settings that favor clean, rounded sans forms.
The overall tone is calm and approachable, combining a modern cleanliness with a slightly handwritten, informal ease. Its light presence and steady slant create a gentle, conversational feel rather than a strict, technical voice.
Designed to provide a lightweight italic sans that reads smoothly in continuous text while keeping a soft, rounded character. The emphasis appears to be on clarity and a gentle, modern rhythm rather than strong contrast or geometric rigidity.
The slant is consistent across letters and figures, and spacing appears even, producing a smooth text color in the sample paragraph. Round characters (C, O, G, e) maintain a cohesive curvature, and diagonals (A, V, W, y) stay crisp without becoming sharp or aggressive.
