A monoline, slanted sans with rounded terminals and softly modulated curves. The letterforms are built from clean strokes with open apertures and generous inner counters, creating a light, breathable texture in text. Curves are smooth and slightly elliptical, while verticals and diagonals keep a consistent rhythm; joints are simplified rather than calligraphic. The overall proportions feel streamlined and compact, with clear, straightforward figures and a simple, single-storey feel in the lowercase where visible.
Works well for short-to-medium passages where an informal, modern voice is desired—editorial intros, captions, pull quotes, and interface labels. It also suits display applications like posters, packaging, and branding systems that benefit from a lightweight, energetic slant without decorative complexity.
The tone is relaxed and approachable, with a contemporary informality that reads as friendly rather than corporate. Its slant and rounded finishing give it a quick, personal cadence—suggesting motion and ease—while staying clean enough to feel modern and restrained.
The design appears intended to provide a clean, contemporary sans with an italicized, personable feel—prioritizing smooth readability, open forms, and a light visual footprint for versatile everyday typography.
In the sample text, the line color remains even and uncluttered, helping longer passages feel light and agile. The design relies on openness and spacing to maintain clarity, and the numerals match the same simplified, rounded construction for a cohesive voice.
