A very light, italic sans with softly squared, superelliptic curves and a smooth, continuous stroke flow. Letterforms are compact and upright-to-slanted with open apertures and generous internal space for the weight, giving counters a clean, breathable feel. Terminals are mostly rounded and lightly tapered, with gentle joins and a consistent, restrained rhythm across capitals, lowercase, and numerals. The overall silhouette favors simplified geometry—rounds read like rounded rectangles—while maintaining readable, humanist proportions in text.
Well-suited to editorial layouts, magazine typography, and brand systems that want a quiet, modern elegance. It can work for headlines and short text in print or on screen where a light italic voice is desired, and it also fits refined UI or product copy when set at comfortable sizes.
The font conveys a refined, contemporary tone: understated, neat, and slightly formal without feeling rigid. Its lightness and slant add a sense of speed and sophistication, making it feel polished and editorial rather than utilitarian or playful.
The design appears intended to blend geometric clarity with a softer, rounded-rect construction, delivering a contemporary italic voice that feels light, smooth, and highly controlled. It prioritizes a clean rhythm and open shapes for legibility while retaining a distinctive superelliptic character.
Capitals are streamlined with smooth curves and minimal ornament, and the lowercase shows clear differentiation and steady spacing that supports continuous reading. Numerals are similarly light and clean, with simple shapes that match the rounded-rect geometry of the alphabet.
