A slender, monoline sans with a consistent rightward slant and rounded, superelliptic construction throughout. Curves are smooth and controlled, with softened corners and open, airy counters (notably in C, G, e, and a). Stroke endings are clean and lightly tapered by the italic angle rather than by contrast, giving the shapes a crisp, drawn-with-one-pen feel. The lowercase shows a tall, upright presence despite the slant, with simple, single-storey forms and minimal detailing; numerals follow the same streamlined, rounded-rectangle logic.
Well suited to interface typography, dashboards, and product experiences where a light, contemporary italic voice is needed without sacrificing clarity. It can also work for brand systems, headings, and pull quotes that benefit from a sleek, forward-leaning tone, and for signage or short labels where open forms support quick recognition.
The tone is modern and efficient, with a gentle friendliness coming from the rounded geometry and open spacing. Its italic posture adds motion and a sense of speed, reading as contemporary and slightly technical rather than calligraphic or formal.
Likely designed to provide a streamlined italic companion with rounded, superelliptic geometry that feels both modern and approachable. The emphasis appears to be on clean rhythm, open counters, and a consistent monoline construction for a smooth, contemporary reading texture.
Overall rhythm is even and uncluttered, with generous internal space that helps maintain clarity at smaller sizes. The slant is consistent across letters and figures, and the design favors simplified joins and terminals over expressive quirks, keeping the texture smooth in continuous text.
