A monoline, oblique sans with open counters and a softly geometric construction. Strokes are consistently thin with smooth curves and gently rounded terminals, while many joins and curve endings show subtle hook-like shaping that gives the outlines a slightly calligraphic rhythm. The uppercase feels narrow and upright in structure but slanted overall, and the lowercase introduces distinctive looped descenders and asymmetric curves (notably in g, j, y), creating a lively baseline texture. Numerals follow the same open, streamlined logic, with several figures featuring curved, partially open bowls that read cleanly at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, branding, and editorial display where its oblique energy and quirky terminals can be appreciated. It can work well for posters, packaging, and short UI or marketing phrases, especially when a clean sans impression is desired with added character.
The font conveys a contemporary, light-footed tone—clean and modern, yet intentionally idiosyncratic. Its slant and hooked details add motion and personality, making it feel approachable and slightly playful rather than strictly utilitarian.
The design appears intended to reinterpret an italic sans through a more expressive, slightly calligraphic lens—keeping a clean monoline skeleton while adding distinctive hooks, open forms, and lively descenders for recognizability in display contexts.
Letterfit appears a bit elastic, with some glyphs feeling more condensed while others breathe wider, contributing to a variable, hand-drawn cadence within an overall consistent system. The distinctive terminals and open bowls are characteristic features that will remain visible in headlines and short phrases.
