A very slender, monoline italic sans with rounded construction and soft, continuous curves. Letterforms show open apertures and generous counters, giving the design a light, breathable texture. Strokes maintain an even thickness with smooth joins and subtly tapered endings, while diagonals and curved terminals lend a handwritten-leaning rhythm without becoming calligraphic. Proportions feel balanced and legible, with clearly differentiated forms (notably in the numerals and the lowercases), and overall spacing that reads calm and uncluttered in text.
Well suited to editorial typography, fashion and lifestyle branding, and other contexts where a light, elegant voice is desired. It works particularly well for headlines, pull quotes, short paragraphs, and refined packaging or invitations where its airy texture can be preserved with sufficient size and spacing.
The typeface conveys a quiet sophistication: clean and contemporary, but also personable due to its gentle slant and rounded shapes. Its delicacy suggests elegance and restraint, producing a polished, editorial tone rather than a loud or utilitarian one.
Designed to deliver a modern italic sans that feels refined and approachable, combining clean monoline structure with rounded, open forms for smooth readability and a graceful rhythm.
The italic angle is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures, creating a cohesive forward motion. Rounded bowls and smooth curves in letters like C, G, O, Q and the numerals reinforce the soft, modern character, while simple, unembellished terminals keep the voice minimal.
