A very thin, monoline sans with a consistent forward slant and rounded stroke endings. Forms are built from clean arcs and straight segments with smooth joins, giving counters an open, elliptical feel. Proportions are slightly extended with ample sidebearings, creating an even, breathable rhythm in both uppercase and lowercase. Numerals and capitals share the same light, continuous stroke logic, with simple geometry and minimal detailing throughout.
Works best for display sizes where the fine strokes and spacious rhythm can be appreciated—headlines, brand wordmarks, and editorial pull quotes. It can also suit minimalist packaging and poster typography when printed or rendered at sufficient size and contrast.
The tone is quiet and contemporary, with a delicate, understated elegance. Its light touch and steady italic motion feel calm and refined rather than energetic or loud, lending a polished, design-forward character.
Likely designed to provide a sleek italic sans option with a refined, lightweight presence and a clean geometric/humanist balance. The emphasis appears to be on smooth readability, elegant motion, and a contemporary, minimal visual signature.
Round letters like O and Q read as soft ellipses, while diagonals in V/W/X/Y stay crisp and minimal. The lowercase shows a clean, single-storey construction where applicable and keeps terminals smooth and unobtrusive, supporting a cohesive, modern texture in running text.
