A very slender italic sans with smooth, continuous curves and gently tapered joins that give strokes a subtly calligraphic feel. Proportions run wide with generous sidebearings, creating an open texture and a calm rhythm in text. Round letters are drawn as soft ellipses, while diagonals are crisp and clean; terminals are mostly sheared or lightly curved rather than blunt. The lowercase shows a relatively high waist and clear, open counters, with a single-storey a and g and a long, flowing tail on y; figures are similarly light and streamlined, with open forms and minimal detailing.
Best suited to display and large-size settings such as magazine headlines, fashion branding, cultural posters, and elegant titles where its light, open texture can breathe. It can also work for short editorial subheads or pull quotes when ample size and spacing are available.
The overall tone is poised and sophisticated, with an airy lightness that feels contemporary and fashion-forward. Its slant and delicate stroke behavior suggest speed and elegance rather than rigidity, giving lines of text a graceful, refined motion.
Likely designed to provide a sleek, contemporary italic voice for branding and editorial typography—prioritizing spacious proportions, clean curves, and a graceful slanted rhythm that reads as modern and premium.
In running text the wide spacing and thin strokes produce a bright page color, while the italic angle remains consistent and controlled. The glyph set leans on simple construction and open shapes, favoring clarity over ornament while still retaining a distinctive, slightly calligraphic character.
