A very slender, monoline sans with a consistent rightward slant and gently rounded construction. Curves are smooth and open, with circular and elliptical bowls (notably in O, o, e, and 8) and restrained, straight stems that taper into soft, slightly angled terminals. Proportions feel moderately narrow with generous internal space, and the overall rhythm is even and uncluttered, keeping letterforms light on the page while remaining clearly drawn.
Well suited to editorial settings where a light italic voice is needed for emphasis, pull quotes, subheads, or captions. It can also work for minimalist branding and packaging, as well as UI labels and short interface text where a sleek, refined tone is desired. At larger sizes it reads particularly well for posters and display lines that benefit from an airy, modern texture.
The tone is understated and contemporary, reading as calm and refined rather than loud or decorative. Its light, slanted posture adds a sense of motion and polish, giving text a sleek, editorial feel without becoming overly stylized.
The design appears intended as a clean, modern italic companion with minimal stroke contrast and rounded, geometric underpinnings. It prioritizes an elegant, lightweight texture and smooth reading flow, offering emphasis and sophistication without ornament.
The numerals mirror the letterforms’ airy geometry, with rounded figures (0, 8, 9) and simplified, linear forms (1, 4, 7) that maintain the same thin stroke and slanted stance. The sample text shows smooth word shapes and clear separation between letters, emphasizing legibility through open counters and simple joins.
