A delicate monoline sans with a consistent rightward slant and smoothly rounded construction. Strokes are extremely fine and even, with clean joins and generous curvature in bowls and terminals. Uppercase forms lean toward geometric simplicity, while lowercase introduces more calligraphic rhythm through soft entry/exit strokes and occasional single-storey structures, creating a lively but controlled texture. Numerals follow the same light, rounded logic, with open, uncluttered shapes and an overall sense of spaciousness.
Best suited to display settings where its hairline strokes and elegant slant can remain clear—such as headlines, brand marks, packaging, and editorial titling. It can also work for short passages or captions when set with comfortable size and spacing, particularly in clean, minimalist layouts.
The overall tone is quiet and elegant, suggesting contemporary sophistication with a light, fashion-forward sensibility. Its thin, slanted lines feel gentle and understated rather than technical, giving text a breezy, graceful presence.
The design appears intended to provide a contemporary, geometric-leaning sans with an airy italic voice—prioritizing refinement, smooth roundness, and a light visual footprint for modern display typography.
The very light strokes and open spacing produce a pale typographic color, which can look especially crisp at larger sizes. Curves are prominent and consistent across rounds (C, O, G and their lowercase counterparts), and the slant is steady enough to read as intentionally italic rather than merely oblique.
