A delicate monoline sans with a consistent, hairline stroke and an evident rightward slant. Forms lean toward geometric construction—round letters are smooth and near-circular, while straight strokes are crisp with clean joins and minimal modulation. Proportions feel tall and open, with generous counters and clear spacing that keeps the texture light and breathable. Terminals are simple and unadorned, and the overall rhythm is even, with a slightly calligraphic italic flow but sans-serif restraint.
Best suited to display and short-to-medium text where a light, stylish presence is desired—magazine layouts, brand wordmarks, fashion and beauty communication, premium packaging, and headline treatments. It can also work for UI accents or captions when set with ample size and spacing to preserve its fine strokes.
The font conveys a modern, understated elegance—light on the page, calm, and contemporary. Its slanted stance adds a sense of motion and sophistication without becoming expressive or decorative, giving it a polished, editorial tone.
The design appears intended to deliver a clean, contemporary italic sans with a distinctly light footprint—prioritizing elegance, openness, and a smooth geometric flow for modern branding and editorial typography.
Curved characters maintain a refined, continuous arc, while diagonals (such as in V, W, and X) stay sharp and streamlined, reinforcing a sleek silhouette. Numerals match the same airy construction, reading as refined and minimal rather than technical or utilitarian.
