A streamlined italic sans with monoline strokes and gently rounded corners throughout. Curves are built from superellipse-like geometry, giving bowls and counters a softly squarish roundness rather than perfect circles. Terminals are clean and mostly sheared with the slant, and joins stay smooth with minimal modulation. Proportions feel disciplined and slightly engineered, with open apertures and even spacing that keeps the texture light and uncluttered in text.
Well-suited to interface typography, product surfaces, and contemporary branding where a clean italic voice is needed without sharp corners. The open forms and even rhythm also make it a good choice for short-to-medium text, captions, and numeric-heavy contexts like dashboards or labeling.
The overall tone is modern and efficient, with a subtle friendliness coming from the rounded geometry. It reads as contemporary and mildly technical—more product-interface than editorial—while the italic slant adds a sense of motion and forward emphasis.
Designed to deliver a contemporary italic companion with geometric rigor and softened edges, balancing a technical feel with approachable rounding. The consistent superellipse-based construction suggests an intention toward system-like coherence across letters and figures.
Digits follow the same rounded-rectangle logic, with a notably soft, open construction that keeps them clear at a glance. The uppercase has a calm, restrained presence, while the lowercase shows a consistent rhythm and simple, unembellished forms that prioritize clarity over personality.
