A slanted, monoline sans with a geometric construction and generous horizontal proportions. Strokes stay evenly weighted with smooth joins and round counters, giving the forms a calm, consistent rhythm. Capitals read clean and open, while lowercase shows simple, functional shapes with single‑storey forms where expected (notably the a and g) and broadly open apertures. Numerals are straightforward and rounded, keeping the same steady stroke logic and spacing feel as the letters.
Well suited to contemporary branding systems, product and packaging titles, and headline or subhead settings that benefit from a light, fast italic tone. It can also work for UI labels and editorial callouts where a clean, slanted sans is needed to differentiate hierarchy while staying readable.
The overall tone is modern and approachable, with an airy, streamlined feel. Its slant adds motion and a contemporary voice without becoming decorative, keeping the impression practical and quietly energetic.
The font appears designed to provide a modern italic companion with a geometric, monoline voice—prioritizing clarity, consistency, and a smooth reading rhythm while adding subtle forward motion for emphasis.
The design leans on circular and elliptical curves for bowls and counters, paired with crisp terminals and lightly angled strokes. The set appears optimized for clarity at display and short text sizes, with an even, unbroken texture across mixed-case sample text.
