A delicate monoline sans with a consistent rightward slant and softly rounded construction. Curves are drawn with smooth, open bowls and generous counters, while terminals tend to finish cleanly without pronounced flaring. Proportions feel lightly condensed and tall, with modest ascenders and deeper descenders that add vertical rhythm in mixed text. The lowercase relies on simple, readable forms (including single-storey a and g), and the numerals follow the same thin, continuous stroke logic for a cohesive texture.
Well suited to branding systems that need a refined, lightweight voice, especially for headings, short paragraphs, and pull quotes. It can work nicely on packaging and invitations where a clean, elevated tone is desired, and it performs best at medium to larger sizes where the thin strokes remain clear.
The overall tone is quiet and sophisticated, with an airy, contemporary elegance. Its slanted posture and thin strokes create a graceful, fashion-adjacent feel that reads as polished rather than assertive.
The design appears intended to provide a minimalist, elegant sans with an italicized flow—combining clean geometry with softened curves for a light, contemporary typographic palette.
In longer lines the light stroke weight produces a bright page color and a slightly calligraphic cadence from the consistent slant. The design favors openness over rigidity, balancing rounded shapes with occasional sharper joins in diagonals for a crisp, modern edge.
