A very slender italic face with clean, sans-like construction and a consistent rightward slant. Strokes are smooth and largely monoline with subtle modulation, producing crisp joins and open apertures. Proportions feel generously wide with ample sidebearings, giving letters room to breathe. Curves are round and even (notably in C, O, Q, and e), while diagonals in A, V, W, X, and Y create a brisk, elegant rhythm. Lowercase forms are straightforward and readable, with a two-storey a and compact, lightly curved terminals; the overall texture is light, tidy, and uncluttered.
Best suited to editorial typography, fashion and beauty branding, and elegant headlines where its light strokes and italic pace can read as intentional and premium. It can also work for short pulls, quotes, and display-sized UI moments where a refined, airy tone is desired, while very small sizes may require careful contrast and spacing choices.
The font conveys a quiet sophistication—light on its feet, polished, and modern. Its italic posture adds motion and a slightly formal, editorial tone without feeling ornamental or vintage.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, minimal italic with a clean silhouette and generous width, balancing clarity with a sleek, expressive slant for contemporary display and editorial use.
Numerals follow the same narrow-stroke, open-form approach; curved figures like 2 and 3 are particularly fluid, while 1 and 7 are clean and spare. The Q’s sweeping tail and the long, smooth bowls in letters like b, p, and d add a subtle sense of flourish while remaining restrained.
