A very slender, monoline sans with a consistent rightward slant and rounded, open curves. Strokes are smooth and even with soft terminals, producing a light, breathable texture on the page. Capitals are narrow and simplified, while the lowercase shows single-storey forms (notably a and g) and generous apertures that keep counters clear. Figures are similarly light and linear, with simple construction and a slightly handwritten flow that matches the italic rhythm.
Well suited to short editorial passages, pull quotes, captions, and lifestyle branding where a light, sophisticated feel is desired. It can work effectively for packaging and airy poster headlines, especially when ample size and spacing help preserve its delicate stroke presence.
The overall tone feels quiet and understated—more elegant than assertive—combining modern minimalism with a relaxed, personal cadence. Its light presence and steady slant suggest a polite, contemporary voice suited to gentle emphasis rather than loud display.
The font appears intended as a minimalist italic companion with a soft, approachable character—delivering contemporary clarity while adding a subtle handwritten warmth through its slant and rounded construction.
The design relies on rounded geometry and consistent spacing to maintain legibility despite the thin strokes. In text, the continuous italic motion creates a cohesive, cursive-like line without becoming fully script, making it feel informal yet controlled.
