A slender italic with smooth, rounded construction and a clean, serifless finish. Strokes stay consistently thin with subtle modulation, and curves are drawn with a gentle, even tension that keeps counters open. The italic angle is noticeable but controlled, producing a steady rightward rhythm without becoming calligraphic. Proportions feel balanced and slightly narrow, with tidy terminals and a generally uncluttered silhouette that reads crisp in both capitals and lowercase.
Works well for editorial settings, brand systems, and packaging where a light, sophisticated italic voice is useful. The openness of the forms and restrained slant can also suit UI accents, captions, and secondary text when a subtle emphasis is needed without heavy typographic weight.
The overall tone is light, polished, and contemporary, with an understated elegance rather than overt personality. Its quiet, airy rhythm suggests a refined editorial feel—more about clarity and poise than emphasis or display drama.
The design appears intended as a contemporary italic companion focused on elegance and readability at small-to-medium sizes, using restrained curves and a consistent thin stroke to keep the texture light and even.
Round characters maintain a smooth oval logic, while diagonal forms keep a sharp, precise slant that adds motion. Numerals match the text style with similarly thin strokes and open forms, giving the set a cohesive, streamlined look.
