A hairline, monoline italic with smooth, rounded construction and open counters. Curves are clean and near-circular in letters like C, O, and S, while straight strokes stay narrow and consistent in thickness. The slant is steady across uppercase and lowercase, and joins are gentle rather than abrupt, giving the set a continuous, flowing rhythm. Proportions are slightly tall and slender, with modest terminals and a generally uncluttered silhouette that keeps spacing feeling light.
Best suited to fashion and beauty branding, editorial headlines, lookbooks, and elevated packaging where a light, stylish italic voice is desirable. It also works well for invitations and short display lines, especially when paired with a sturdier companion for body text to maintain readability at smaller sizes.
The overall tone is understated and elegant, with a quiet sophistication that reads modern and boutique. Its thin strokes and consistent slant create a soft, airy presence—more poised than assertive—suited to designs that want refinement without ornament.
The design appears intended as a minimalist italic display sans that combines geometric clarity with a hint of handwritten ease. It aims to provide a refined, contemporary texture for titles and branding while maintaining a cohesive monoline system across letters and figures.
Uppercase forms keep a simple geometric feel, while lowercase introduces a slightly more calligraphic swing in letters like a, g, j, and y, adding warmth without breaking the minimal look. Numerals follow the same hairline logic, with rounded figures (0, 8, 9) appearing particularly graceful and the 1 staying spare and linear.
