A monoline sans with an oblique (italic) construction and broad, open letterforms. Curves are smooth and nearly circular in bowls and counters, while joins and terminals stay crisp and unembellished. Capitals feel roomy and evenly weighted, and the lowercase maintains clear silhouettes with open apertures and a steady rhythm. Numerals follow the same simple, rounded logic, giving a consistent texture across mixed text.
Well suited to UI labels, dashboards, and web typography where a clean, unobtrusive italic voice is needed. Its wide, open forms also work effectively for headlines, brand systems, and editorial callouts that benefit from a modern, spacious look.
The overall tone is modern and straightforward, with an airy clarity that reads as friendly rather than formal. Its slanted stance adds motion and a contemporary voice without becoming expressive or calligraphic.
Likely intended as a versatile italic sans that preserves clarity at a range of sizes while providing a distinct, forward-leaning emphasis. The restrained geometry and consistent stroke weight suggest a focus on neutral, contemporary communication.
The design emphasizes legibility through open counters and restrained detailing, producing an even, calm color in paragraphs. The oblique angle is consistent across glyphs, helping text feel continuous and streamlined.
