A very slender, monoline italic with gently rounded construction and open, unforced curves. Strokes keep a consistent light thickness with minimal modulation, while terminals are clean and slightly tapered by the slant rather than by serif-like finishing. The italic angle is steady across caps and lowercase, creating a smooth forward rhythm; counters are generous and letterforms stay open, especially in bowls and apertures. Proportions feel balanced and contemporary, with capitals kept simple and geometric-leaning and lowercase shapes that read humanist in their curvature and spacing.
Best suited to editorial layouts, branding, and display typography where a light, sophisticated italic voice is desired. It performs especially well in headlines, pull quotes, and short blocks of text at medium-to-large sizes, where its airy rhythm and open counters remain legible.
The overall tone is quiet and polished, projecting a contemporary elegance without feeling ornamental. Its lightness and consistent slant lend it a fashion-forward, editorial character, while the open forms keep it approachable and clear.
The design appears intended to provide a modern, minimalist italic with an elegant texture—prioritizing smooth flow, clean geometry, and a refined, lightweight presence for contemporary typography.
Numerals follow the same delicate, oblique logic and appear designed to sit comfortably alongside text rather than dominate it. The sample text shows an even texture at larger sizes, where the airy spacing and thin strokes create a graceful, high-end feel.
