A monoline, slanted sans with very thin strokes and a smooth, rounded construction. Curves are drawn with generous radii and minimal modulation, giving letters an even, continuous rhythm. Uppercase forms are tall and streamlined, while lowercase shows simple, open shapes with a modest x-height and long, elegant ascenders/descenders. Terminals are clean and unembellished, and the overall spacing reads on the tight-to-moderate side, reinforcing a slim, tidy texture in text.
Best suited to display and short-to-medium text where a refined, modern voice is desired—such as fashion and lifestyle branding, editorial headlines and pull quotes, lookbooks, and elegant invitations. Because the strokes are extremely thin, it will perform most confidently at larger sizes or in high-contrast print and screen settings.
The font conveys a light, contemporary tone with a quiet sophistication. Its delicate line weight and steady slant feel polished and understated, leaning more toward editorial elegance than casual handwriting.
The design appears intended to provide a minimalist italic sans for sophisticated typography, prioritizing elegance, forward motion, and a clean geometric feel over heavy emphasis or rugged texture.
Round letters like C, O, and Q appear especially smooth and geometric, while diagonals (A, V, W, X, Y) emphasize the forward motion of the italic. Numerals follow the same thin, streamlined logic, staying unobtrusive and consistent with the letterforms.
