This typeface is a very slender, right-leaning sans with smooth, rounded construction and a largely monolinear stroke. Curves are drawn with broad, elliptical forms, giving letters like C, O, and Q a soft, continuous flow, while diagonals in A, V, W, and Y stay crisp and lightly tensioned. Terminals are clean and subtly tapered by the italic slant rather than by explicit serifs, and counters remain open, especially in e, c, and s. The overall rhythm is light and spacious, with narrow strokes, generous internal whitespace, and a calm, consistent angle across capitals, lowercase, and numerals.
It works well for editorial headlines, magazine pull quotes, fashion and beauty branding, and other applications where a light, elegant italic voice is desired. The clear, rounded shapes and open counters can also suit short-to-medium reading passages when set with ample size and leading, where its fine strokes can maintain clarity.
The tone reads elegant and understated, combining a contemporary clarity with a slightly calligraphic poise from the consistent slant. Its delicacy suggests sophistication and restraint rather than loud personality, making it feel polished and composed.
The design appears intended to provide a graceful italic companion with modern, rounded sans proportions—prioritizing fluidity, lightness, and a refined texture in display and editorial typography.
Uppercase forms are simple and streamlined, while the lowercase introduces more humanist movement (notably in a, g, and y) that keeps text from feeling rigid. Numerals follow the same thin, rounded logic, with smooth curves and a gently drawn 2 and 3 that match the italic rhythm. In paragraph settings, the light strokes and open shapes create an airy texture that favors clean rendering at comfortable sizes.
