A slender, monoline italic sans with softly rounded curves and crisp terminals. The forms lean consistently forward, with smooth circular bowls (notably in C, O, Q) and open, uncluttered counters that keep the texture light. Ascenders are relatively tall and the lowercase shows a single‑storey a and g, plus a gently curved descender on y, giving the face an easy rhythm. Numerals follow the same light, streamlined construction, with simple, open shapes and minimal embellishment.
Well suited to brands seeking a light, refined voice, and to editorial settings where an italic sans can add emphasis without heaviness. It can work for UI or product contexts when set at comfortable sizes with ample contrast against the background, and it performs nicely in short headlines, captions, and pull quotes where its airy texture can shine.
The overall tone is calm and contemporary, with an understated elegance. Its light stroke and steady slant suggest motion and refinement rather than assertiveness, making it feel approachable and precise at the same time.
The design appears intended to provide a contemporary italic companion with a clean, rounded skeleton and minimal stroke modulation. It aims for legibility through open apertures and simple geometry while maintaining a graceful, forward-leaning cadence.
Spacing appears generous, helping maintain clarity in running text. The italic construction reads as a true drawn italic rather than an oblique, with curves and joins that feel intentionally shaped for the slant.
