A monoline, slanted sans with smooth, rounded construction and softly finished terminals. Curves are drawn with even stroke color and open counters, while joins stay clean and minimally emphasized. Proportions feel balanced and neutral, with a moderate x-height and relatively long extenders; uppercase forms are simple and geometric, and numerals follow the same restrained, rounded logic. Overall spacing reads a touch generous, giving the face an airy texture in text.
Works well for clean editorial typography, interfaces where a softer italic voice is needed, and brand systems that want a modern, unobtrusive tone. The even stroke and open shapes suit short to medium text blocks, pull quotes, captions, and product or lifestyle packaging where an airy, refined texture is desirable.
The tone is contemporary and understated, with a polished, design-forward feel rather than a loud or quirky voice. Its consistent rhythm and gentle slant add a sense of motion and refinement, making it feel approachable and composed.
Likely designed as a versatile italic companion with a neutral, geometric foundation, aiming for smooth readability and an elegant, contemporary texture. The emphasis appears to be on consistent rhythm, open forms, and a gentle slant that adds sophistication without turning into a calligraphic script.
In running text the slant is pronounced but controlled, and the open forms help maintain clarity. Round letters (like O/Q/0) read smoothly and uniform, while diagonals (V/W/X/Y) stay crisp without looking sharp or aggressive.
