A very slender monoline italic with smooth, rounded construction and softly squared terminals. Curves are drawn with clean, continuous arcs, and straight strokes keep a consistent thickness, producing an even, delicate rhythm. Proportions feel moderately narrow-to-regular with generous internal space: bowls and counters stay open, and the lowercase maintains a balanced, readable x-height. The overall slant is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures, giving the design a cohesive forward motion without becoming cursive.
Best suited to editorial typography, branding, and display settings where a delicate italic voice is desired. It works well for headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and short blocks of text, especially in spacious layouts or on high-contrast backgrounds where fine strokes can stay crisp.
The tone is understated and refined, with a light, airy presence that reads as modern and polished. Its gentle italic energy suggests sophistication and speed while staying calm and controlled—more editorial than expressive.
The design appears intended as a refined italic sans for contemporary composition—prioritizing smooth geometry, consistency of stroke, and a graceful forward slant to add emphasis without heavy styling.
Capitals remain simple and geometric-leaning, while lowercase shows subtle humanist decisions in the curves and joins. Numerals match the same thin stroke and italic angle, keeping the set visually uniform in running text.
