A slanted, monoline sans with smooth, rounded bowls and softly tapered joins. Uppercase forms are restrained and geometric-leaning, while the lowercase introduces a more humanist rhythm with open apertures and simple, single-storey constructions. Counters are generous and spacing feels even, giving the design an airy texture in text. Numerals follow the same straightforward construction, with clear curves and consistent stroke behavior across the set.
Works well for interface copy, captions, and general-purpose text where a clean italic is needed for emphasis or secondary hierarchy. Its open shapes and steady rhythm also suit editorial layouts, presentations, and contemporary brand systems that favor a clear, understated typographic tone.
The overall tone is modern and matter-of-fact, with a calm, contemporary voice. The italic angle adds forward motion without becoming expressive or calligraphic, keeping the impression tidy and professional. Its mix of roundness and restraint reads as approachable but precise.
Designed to provide a straightforward italic sans for everyday typography, prioritizing clarity, even color, and a smooth reading rhythm. The forms aim for broad usability—neutral enough for systems work, but with enough humanist shaping to remain comfortable in continuous text.
Stroke endings are clean and unadorned, with rounded curves doing most of the work rather than sharp terminals. The slant is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures, helping the font maintain a cohesive flow in running text. Distinct, simple letterforms support quick recognition at a glance.
