A slanted, monolinear sans with rounded construction and smooth, continuous curves. Strokes are uniformly thin with gentle modulation from the italic angle rather than true contrast, and terminals are softly finished rather than sharply cut. Uppercase forms feel open and spacious, while the lowercase shows compact bowls and simple, single-storey shapes (notably a and g), with a round i/j dot and a descender on j. Figures are similarly rounded and open, with clear, uncomplicated forms that keep the overall texture light and uncluttered.
Works well for interface labels, short paragraphs, and editorial callouts where a light, modern italic voice is needed without high contrast. It also suits branding, packaging, and headline use that benefits from a friendly, rounded sans look and a sense of motion.
The overall tone is contemporary and approachable, combining a clean, modern skeleton with a relaxed italic flow. Its rounded shapes and open counters read as friendly and informal, while the consistent rhythm keeps it polished and easygoing rather than playful or loud.
Likely designed as a clean italic companion with a soft, rounded personality—prioritizing clarity, openness, and smooth rhythm in text while adding a contemporary, forward-leaning emphasis.
Letterforms maintain a smooth, even cadence in running text, with generous internal space and minimal visual noise. The slant is steady and gives forward motion without becoming cursive, keeping the texture readable and aligned across mixed-case setting.
