A monoline, slanted sans with a slender, continuous stroke and softly rounded terminals. Forms are built from clean arcs and straight stems with an overall smooth, elliptical geometry; rounds (C, O, Q) read open and even, while diagonals (V, W, Y, K) are crisp and lightly tensioned. Proportions feel vertically oriented, with compact bowls and a notably tall lowercase structure; spacing is moderate and consistent, giving lines a light, flowing rhythm without looking compressed.
Well-suited to headlines, brand marks, packaging, and poster-style typography where a light, stylish voice is desired. It can work for short editorial display and pull quotes, especially when set with generous tracking and leading to preserve its airy texture.
The face conveys a quiet, contemporary elegance—light on its feet, understated, and slightly fashionable. Its slant and streamlined curves add a gentle sense of motion and sophistication rather than overt drama.
The design appears intended to provide a sleek, contemporary italic voice with smooth, rounded construction and a refined, minimal presence. It prioritizes elegance and visual flow over heavy emphasis, aiming for modern display clarity in mixed-case text.
Lowercase and numerals follow the same restrained, rounded construction, keeping the texture uniform across mixed-case settings. The overall color on the page is pale and delicate, making the design feel best when given room and sufficient size.
