A very slender, monoline italic with open apertures and softly rounded terminals. Curves are drawn as smooth, near-circular arcs (notably in C, G, O, e, and 0), while straight strokes keep a slightly human, hand-guided feel rather than rigid geometry. Capitals are simple and unadorned, with a pointed A, a compact crossbar on F/T, and a clean diagonal rhythm in N/V/W/X/Y. Lowercase forms are single-storey where expected (a, g) and maintain generous counters; ascenders are tall and gently curved (b, d, h, l), and the descenders (g, j, p, q, y) are long and flowing. Numerals follow the same light, rounded construction, with a curved 2 and open, elegant 3/5/9.
Well-suited to editorial pull quotes, headings, and brand voice applications where an elegant italic presence is desired without heavy calligraphic character. The open shapes and clean rhythm also fit interface accents, lightweight packaging copy, and contemporary posters when used at comfortable sizes.
The overall tone is calm and contemporary, with a light, breezy cadence that reads as refined rather than emphatic. Its rounded geometry and consistent slant add an approachable, slightly handwritten warmth while staying firmly in a modern sans idiom.
This design appears intended to provide a delicate italic companion for modern communication: minimal, rounded, and readable, with just enough humanist curvature to keep long passages from feeling cold or purely mechanical.
The stroke endings tend to resolve into subtle curves instead of flat cuts, which contributes to a softer texture in continuous text. Spacing appears even and restrained, producing a smooth horizontal flow in longer lines.
