A delicate monoline sans with an oblique slant and broadly rounded construction. Curves are smooth and open, with minimal modulation and a consistent hairline stroke that keeps counters generous. Proportions feel lightly condensed in places, with tall ascenders and a clean, uncluttered rhythm; terminals are simple and unembellished, letting circular forms (notably in O/C/G/Q) read as crisp, geometric ovals. Numerals and lowercase keep the same thin, even texture, producing a quiet, continuous line across text.
Best suited to display and larger text where its hairline strokes and rounded forms can stay crisp—such as fashion and lifestyle branding, magazine headings, lookbooks, packaging, and elegant identity systems. It can also work for short UI labels or captions when sufficient size, contrast, and spacing are available.
The overall tone is elegant and understated, reading as contemporary and slightly fashion-forward. Its thin strokes and relaxed slant give it a soft, polished character that feels calm rather than loud, with a hint of editorial sophistication.
Likely designed to provide a sleek, contemporary italic voice that feels light, refined, and spacious. The emphasis appears to be on clean geometry and a smooth reading rhythm for stylish titling and brand-forward typography.
At smaller sizes the very fine strokes can visually recede, while at display sizes the clean geometry and open counters become the defining feature. The italic angle is steady across caps and lowercase, contributing to a cohesive, flowing texture in longer lines.
