A very thin, monoline sans with a consistent rightward slant and softly rounded terminals. Curves are built from clean circular and elliptical strokes, while straighter letters keep a gentle, humanist feel rather than rigid geometry. Counters are open and generous, ascenders and descenders are long, and the overall rhythm feels light and spacious with smooth joins and unobtrusive transitions. Numerals follow the same delicate construction, with simple, flowing shapes and minimal detailing.
Best suited for headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and short-to-medium editorial passages where a light, stylish voice is desired. It can work well in branding, packaging, and poster typography when given sufficient size and contrast, and it pairs naturally with sturdier companions for body copy or UI text.
The overall tone is calm, elegant, and contemporary, with an understated sophistication suited to fashion and culture contexts. Its light stroke and italic posture convey speed and refinement without feeling aggressive, giving text a poised, airy presence.
The design appears intended to deliver a sleek italic sans voice that prioritizes elegance and readability through open shapes, rounded construction, and a restrained, monoline drawing. It aims for a contemporary, editorial feel rather than a utilitarian one, using lightness and slant to add character while staying minimal.
Because the strokes are extremely thin, the design benefits from ample size and breathing room; in dense settings or low-contrast reproduction it can appear faint. The slanted forms and long extenders create a strong forward rhythm that becomes especially noticeable in running text.
