A light, monoline sans with a consistent rightward slant and gently rounded terminals throughout. Letterforms lean on simple geometric construction—clean circles and smooth arcs—while keeping a human, handwritten rhythm in the joins and diagonals. Counters are open and generous, curves stay smooth, and the overall texture reads even and uncluttered, with a slightly playful bounce from the italic posture.
It works well for interface labels, short to medium text, and editorial callouts where a light, soft sans can keep things feeling open and modern. The italic stance makes it especially suited to branding, packaging, and display settings that benefit from motion and warmth without becoming decorative.
The font feels approachable and contemporary, with a casual, easygoing tone rather than a strict technical one. Its soft endings and steady slant give it a friendly, conversational voice that still stays neat and restrained.
The design appears intended to provide a clean, contemporary sans voice with a gentle italic energy and rounded friendliness, balancing clarity with an informal, human touch.
The numeral set follows the same rounded, monoline logic, maintaining a cohesive color in running text. Uppercase shapes remain straightforward and legible, while the lowercase adds a bit more character through single-storey forms and flowing curves, reinforcing the informal, personable feel.
