A very light, monoline sans with a consistent rightward slant and rounded construction throughout. Curves are smooth and open, with generous counters (notably in C, O, e, and a) and minimal contrast between strokes. Terminals are soft and slightly tapered by the italic motion, while joins remain clean and understated. Proportions feel balanced with a normal x-height and clear ascenders/descenders; lowercase forms read humanist and uncomplicated, and figures are simple, rounded, and evenly spaced in rhythm.
Well-suited to interface typography, light branding systems, and editorial layouts where a soft, modern italic voice is needed. It can work effectively for headings, pull quotes, short paragraphs, and spacious signage, particularly when paired with generous line spacing and contrast against darker backgrounds.
The overall tone is calm and approachable, combining a contemporary cleanliness with a gentle, handwritten-like ease from the italic angle. Its lightness and rounded shapes give it an airy, friendly presence rather than a rigid or technical feel.
Likely designed to provide a refined, lightweight italic sans that stays highly legible while adding warmth and motion. The rounded geometry and open forms suggest an emphasis on clarity and friendliness over strict geometric severity.
The slant is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, creating a cohesive forward movement in text. Round letters stay close to circular, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y) remain slender and crisp, helping maintain clarity despite the delicate stroke weight.
