A slanted, monoline sans with softly rounded construction and a gently hand-drawn rhythm. Strokes stay consistently thin, with smooth curves and tapered terminals that feel pen-led rather than mechanically cut. Proportions are slightly narrow and tall in the capitals, while the lowercase sits compactly with a relatively small x-height and generous ascenders/descenders, creating a light, breathable texture. Counters are open and circular forms (O, Q, o, e) read cleanly; figures are simple and streamlined with rounded bowls and minimal detailing.
Well suited to editorial highlights, lifestyle branding, packaging, and display typography where a light, elegant voice is needed. It works especially well for short-to-medium text such as pull quotes, headlines, menus, and invitations, where the slanted rhythm and delicate stroke can be appreciated at comfortable reading sizes.
The overall tone is light and approachable, balancing modern clarity with a subtle handwritten warmth. Its italic motion adds energy and a conversational feel, making text seem quick, personal, and refined rather than formal or rigid.
The font appears designed to provide an understated italic voice for a rounded sans system—combining clean geometry with a human, pen-like flow for contemporary communication.
The design maintains a consistent forward slant across letters and numerals, with smooth joins and minimal optical contrast. Spacing appears comfortable in running text, and the thin strokes favor larger sizes where the delicate details and open shapes remain clear.
