A rounded, monoline italic sans with soft curves and gently tapered terminals. Letterforms lean consistently to the right and favor open apertures and circular construction, giving the alphabet a smooth, continuous rhythm. Strokes stay even and clean, with rounded joins and corners; bowls and counters are generous, and diagonals (like in A, K, V, W, X) read slender and swift. Numerals follow the same understated, rounded logic with simple shapes and steady spacing.
Well-suited for interface accents, short-to-medium editorial text, and brand communications that want a relaxed, modern feel. The open counters and smooth forms also make it a good option for headings, pull quotes, and lightweight poster copy where an italic voice is desirable without becoming ornate.
The overall tone feels friendly and informal, with a handwritten ease translated into a neat, contemporary sans style. Its soft geometry and consistent slant create a light, conversational voice that stays tidy rather than expressive or rough.
Likely intended to provide an easygoing italic sans that remains clean and contemporary, combining rounded geometric construction with readable, human-friendly letter shapes for everyday communication.
The design balances geometric roundness with subtle humanist decisions in shapes like a, e, and t, helping text feel natural in continuous reading. The italic angle is pronounced enough to signal emphasis while remaining calm and controlled in texture.
