A very thin, monoline sans with a consistent rightward slant and generous internal space. Curves are built from clean, near-circular bowls with softly rounded joins, while straight strokes remain crisp and lightly tensioned. Proportions feel slightly condensed in some letters due to the narrow stroke and open counters, creating a delicate rhythm with ample whitespace. Numerals follow the same spare geometry, with smooth, continuous curves and minimal terminals.
Best suited to display sizes where its hairline strokes and rounded geometry can remain crisp, such as headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and refined brand systems. It also works well for minimalist packaging and poster work when paired with ample tracking and strong contrast between type and background.
The overall tone is quiet and contemporary, with an airy elegance that reads as understated rather than technical. Its italic angle adds a sense of motion and sophistication, giving text a gentle, editorial cadence.
The font appears designed to deliver a sleek, modern italic voice with minimal distraction—prioritizing smooth geometry, open forms, and a light typographic color for contemporary layouts.
The design emphasizes clarity through open apertures and restrained detailing, relying on uniform stroke weight and carefully balanced counters for cohesion. In longer text, the thin strokes produce a light, refined texture that favors spacious layouts and high-contrast settings.
