A slender, monoline sans with a consistent rightward slant and generous internal space. Strokes are hairline-light with rounded curve joins and clean terminals, producing an even, calm rhythm. Uppercase forms feel narrow and tall, with simplified construction (notably in straight-sided letters like E and F) balanced by smooth, circular bowls. Lowercase is notably open and legible, with single-storey a and g, soft shoulders, and a long, gently curving descender on j and y that adds fluidity without becoming decorative. Numerals follow the same light, linear logic, with rounded 0/8/9 and a minimal, angled 7.
Best suited to display typography where its delicate stroke weight and italic motion can be appreciated—such as headlines, brand marks, packaging, invitations, and editorial pull quotes. It can work for short paragraphs in spacious layouts, but will benefit from larger sizes and comfortable leading to preserve clarity.
The font reads as understated and contemporary, with a light, breezy tone that suggests elegance rather than assertiveness. Its slanted posture and fine strokes give it a cultivated, editorial feel—more fashion-forward and intimate than technical.
The design appears intended to provide a minimalist italic voice for modern visual systems—sleek, open, and refined—offering a distinctive slanted sans for elegant titles and identity work without resorting to overt ornament.
Letterforms maintain a consistent angle and spacing, giving lines of text a cohesive, forward-moving cadence. The bowls and counters stay generous for the weight, while the very fine strokes make the overall color of text quite light, especially at smaller sizes or low-contrast printing.
