A very light, monoline italic sans with rounded-rectangle construction throughout. Curves are smooth and controlled, with softened corners and consistently thin strokes that maintain an even rhythm. Proportions feel vertical and streamlined, with a tall lowercase presence and compact descenders; bowls and counters are open and clearly defined. Terminals are clean and understated, and the overall geometry reads as contemporary and slightly engineered rather than calligraphic.
Works well for contemporary branding, lightweight editorial typography, and interface or product contexts where a sleek, unobtrusive italic is useful. It suits headlines, subheads, captions, and short blocks of text that benefit from a clean, airy texture and a modern geometric voice.
The tone is minimalist and refined, with a quiet, modern sophistication. Its lightness and gentle rounding give it an approachable, polished feel, while the italic slant adds motion and a forward-leaning, contemporary energy.
Likely designed to provide a sleek italic companion for modern sans typography, emphasizing clarity and a refined geometric construction. The consistent rounding and restrained detailing suggest an intent to balance technical precision with a soft, approachable finish.
Round letters lean toward superelliptical shapes rather than perfect circles, which lends a subtle squareness to the curves. Numerals and capitals share the same delicate, consistent stroke treatment, producing a cohesive, understated texture in longer text.
