A very slender, right-leaning sans with smooth, rounded construction and predominantly monoline strokes. Curves are clean and open, with generous counters in letters like C, O, and e, and a light overall color that stays even across text. Proportions feel tall and slightly condensed, with long ascenders/descenders that add vertical grace in the lowercase. Terminals are simple and understated, and the forms maintain a consistent italic rhythm without sharp calligraphic contrast.
Best suited for display sizes where its fine strokes and airy spacing can be appreciated—such as headlines, pull quotes, magazine titling, fashion/beauty branding, and refined poster work. In longer passages it can work for short editorial blurbs or captions when set large enough to preserve its delicate details.
The font conveys a polished, delicate tone—quietly sophisticated rather than loud or expressive. Its slant and thin strokes suggest speed and finesse, while the rounded geometry keeps it friendly and contemporary.
The design appears intended to provide a lightweight, modern italic voice with a smooth geometric backbone—offering elegance and motion without relying on ornament. It aims for a clean, contemporary feel that remains readable through open counters and restrained terminals.
Uppercase forms read as streamlined and minimal, while the lowercase introduces more personality through looped shapes and extended descenders (notably in g, j, p, q, y). Numerals match the light, rounded feel; curved figures (0, 3, 8, 9) appear especially soft and fluid alongside the more linear 1 and 7.
