A monoline sans with a consistent, very slim stroke and a pronounced forward slant. Forms are largely rounded and elliptical, with smooth joins and softly finished terminals that keep the texture light and continuous. Proportions are tall and slightly narrow, with generous counters and open apertures that prevent the thin strokes from closing up. Numerals follow the same slender, curved construction, and overall spacing feels even and breathable, producing an uncluttered rhythm in text.
Well-suited for branding and identity work that benefits from a light, elegant voice, as well as editorial applications such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, and short blocks of text. It can also work effectively on packaging and posters where a refined, contemporary italic feel is desired and sizes allow the thin strokes to remain clear.
The font conveys a quiet, refined modernity—light on the page, friendly rather than stark, and subtly expressive through its italic motion. Its delicate presence reads as polished and calm, lending a contemporary, design-forward tone without becoming loud or decorative.
Likely designed to provide a sleek, contemporary italic sans that stays legible through open, rounded construction while maintaining a distinctly light, graceful texture. The consistent slant and restrained detailing suggest an aim for versatility in modern display and headline settings without ornamental complexity.
Round letters like O and Q are close to circular with a clean, minimal Q tail, while diagonals (V/W/X/Y) are sharply articulated yet remain delicate due to the thin strokes. The italic angle is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures, creating a cohesive flow in longer lines. The overall color is pale and elegant, suggesting best results with ample size or comfortable contrast against the background.
