A monoline italic sans with smooth, rounded construction and clean terminals. Curves are broadly circular and consistent, with a gently slanted rhythm across both cases. Uppercase forms feel open and spacious, while lowercase shows simple, modern shapes with clear counters and unobtrusive joins. Numerals follow the same light, even stroke behavior, maintaining a quiet, coherent texture in text.
Well-suited to editorial subheads, brand identities, and packaging where a gentle italic voice can add nuance without becoming decorative. Its clean outlines and open forms also make it a good fit for UI labels, navigation, and captioning when a light, unobtrusive typographic presence is desired.
The overall tone is light and refined, suggesting contemporary clarity rather than display eccentricity. Its soft curvature and steady slant read as calm and polite, lending a tasteful, understated sophistication to headings and short copy.
Designed to provide a streamlined italic companion with a modern, geometric sensibility—adding motion and elegance while preserving a straightforward, highly legible skeleton for everyday typography.
Letterforms lean on open apertures and generous internal space, helping maintain clarity despite the delicate stroke. The italics feel structural (built into the forms) rather than purely calligraphic, keeping the voice modern and controlled.
