A very slender, monoline italic sans with rounded construction and a gentle forward lean. Curves are drawn with smooth, near-circular bowls (notably in C, G, O, and lowercase o/e), while straight strokes remain crisp and uncluttered. Proportions are balanced with a moderate x-height, open apertures, and generally generous sidebearings that create a light, spacious rhythm. The uppercase is simple and geometric-leaning, while the lowercase shows a more humanist flow with softly finished terminals and clear differentiation between forms.
Best suited to display and short-to-medium text where its thin strokes and open forms can breathe—magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, premium packaging, and elegant stationery. It can also work for UI accents or captions in larger sizes, especially when a refined, unobtrusive italic voice is needed.
The overall tone is poised and understated, combining modern cleanliness with a slightly literary, editorial feel. Its light stroke and italic cadence suggest sophistication and a quiet, premium presence rather than emphasis or impact.
The design appears intended to provide a sleek italic companion with a minimal, contemporary silhouette—prioritizing graceful curves, readability through open counters, and a light, upscale texture for editorial and brand-led typography.
Numerals follow the same airy, rounded logic, with smooth curves in 2/3/5/8/9 and a simple, unobtrusive 1. The italic slant is consistent across cases, and the design avoids sharp calligraphic modulation, keeping the texture even and delicate.
