A very thin, monoline italic sans with gently rounded geometry and smooth, continuous curves. The slant is consistent and gives the forms a forward, flowing rhythm, while strokes stay even with minimal modulation. Letterforms favor open counters and clean terminals, combining circular bowls (O, Q, 0) with crisp diagonals (A, V, W, X). Spacing appears on the generous side, helping the delicate outlines read clearly despite the light weight.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, and short editorial passages where a light, stylish italic can carry a refined voice. It also works well for fashion and lifestyle branding, premium packaging, and elegant UI accents, especially at larger sizes where the thin strokes have room to breathe.
The overall tone is understated and elegant, with a quiet modernity. Its light touch and steady italic motion feel sophisticated and graceful rather than emphatic, suggesting a premium, editorial sensibility.
The design appears intended to provide a sleek italic companion with a modern, geometric base and a distinctly delicate presence. It prioritizes smooth rhythm, openness, and a clean typographic color for sophisticated display and editorial typography.
Uppercase construction is simple and geometric, while lowercase maintains a straightforward, contemporary skeleton with single-storey a and g-like simplicity and uncluttered joins. Numerals match the airy color, with rounded forms for 0/8/9 and clean, minimal shapes for 1/7, keeping the set visually consistent in text.
