A slanted, monoline sans with softly rounded curves and open, readable counters. Strokes maintain an even texture with gentle tapering at terminals, giving letters a smooth, continuous rhythm rather than sharp cuts. Proportions feel balanced and contemporary: capitals are straightforward and geometric-leaning, while lowercase forms introduce a slightly humanist flow with clear bowls, a single-storey “g,” and a relaxed, open “e.” Numerals match the letterforms with simple, airy shapes and consistent stroke behavior.
Well-suited for UI text, captions, and product interfaces where an italic voice is needed without sacrificing clarity. It also works for editorial emphasis, pull quotes, and contemporary branding systems that want a clean, understated slanted sans for supporting typography.
The overall tone is modern and approachable, with a quiet, streamlined energy typical of contemporary UI and editorial italics. Its smooth curves and measured slant feel friendly and dynamic without becoming expressive or decorative.
The design appears intended as a versatile italic companion for modern sans typography, prioritizing legibility, smooth rhythm, and a neutral-yet-warm personality for everyday digital and print use.
The slant is consistent across caps and lowercase, and the spacing appears even, supporting a steady texture in paragraph settings. Distinctive details include the single-storey “g” with a clear ear, a clean “Q” tail, and simplified numerals that keep the style cohesive.
