A light, slanted sans with monoline strokes and broadly rounded terminals. Curves are smooth and slightly squared-off in places, giving round letters a superellipse-like, rounded-rectangle feel rather than perfect circles. Proportions are open and legible, with generous internal counters, a straightforward two-storey feel avoided in favor of single-storey simplicity where visible (notably the lowercase forms), and a steady, even rhythm across the alphabet. Figures follow the same restrained construction, with simple, open shapes and minimal contrast.
It suits interface labels, short-to-medium editorial copy, and brand systems that want a modern sans with a gentler, more human cadence. The light stroke and open counters make it especially effective for headings, pull quotes, packaging, and signage where a clean but friendly italic voice is useful.
The overall tone is contemporary and approachable, combining a clean technical neatness with a relaxed italic slant. The softened geometry keeps it from feeling rigid, making it read as friendly and easygoing while still crisp.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary italic sans that stays neutral and highly legible, while introducing a distinctive soft-rectilinear curvature to round shapes. It aims for a calm, polished texture in text and a subtly recognizable silhouette in display settings.
The slant is consistent and smooth, and the rounded corners/terminals create a cohesive texture in continuous text. The uppercase set feels streamlined and understated, while the lowercase adds warmth through its simplified, handwritten-adjacent construction without becoming overtly script-like.
