A slender oblique sans with softly rounded construction and clear, open counters. Strokes stay crisp and mostly monolinear but show subtle modulation at curves and joins, with smooth terminals that feel cut rather than blunt. Proportions are slightly narrow with generous internal space, and the italic slant gives the forms a steady forward rhythm. Numerals follow the same light, rounded logic, keeping an even texture and unobtrusive presence in text.
Works well for editorial typography, magazine decks, and brand communication where a light italic voice can add emphasis without turning ornamental. The open shapes and even texture also make it a good choice for UI labels, short captions, pull quotes, and other settings that benefit from a clean, contemporary oblique.
The overall tone is modern and composed, with an understated elegance that reads as friendly rather than technical. Its light, slanted voice suggests motion and clarity—suited to contemporary editorial and brand settings where a quiet sophistication is preferred over loud personality.
Likely designed as a versatile italic companion with a smooth, rounded construction and restrained contrast, aiming for a contemporary, readable texture that can handle both display lines and supportive text roles.
Round letters (like O/C/G) look nearly circular and consistently drawn, while diagonals (V/W/X/Y) stay sharp and clean without decorative gestures. Ascenders and descenders are comfortably long, helping the italic forms remain legible and preventing the texture from feeling cramped in running text.
