A slender, slanted sans with monoline strokes and softly rounded terminals. Curves are built from smooth, superellipse-like bowls that keep counters open and evenly tensioned, while straight stems stay clean and continuous with minimal modulation. Proportions are compact and vertically oriented, giving the alphabet a tall rhythm; round letters (C, O, Q) read as narrow ovals, and the numerals follow the same streamlined, rounded-rectangle logic. Spacing appears measured rather than loose, supporting consistent texture in running text.
Works well for editorial headlines and subheads where a sleek italic voice is needed, and for brand systems that want a modern, lightweight tone. The condensed rhythm and smooth bowls also suit UI accents, packaging callouts, and poster typography where space is tight but clarity is important.
The overall tone is contemporary and calm, with a subtle, design-forward elegance. Its restraint and smooth curvature feel technical yet friendly, lending a polished voice without calling attention to decorative detail.
Designed to provide a crisp, contemporary italic sans with a compact footprint and smooth, rounded geometry. The emphasis appears to be on even texture, clear counters, and a refined forward slant suitable for both display and short-to-medium text applications.
Distinctive single-storey lowercase forms (notably a and g) and a simple, looped f reinforce the clean, modern construction. The slant is steady across capitals, lowercase, and figures, creating a cohesive forward motion that stays legible in paragraph settings.
