A very slender, monoline italic with smooth, rounded construction and a steady rightward slant. Curves are drawn with soft, continuous arcs and open counters, giving letters a light, flowing rhythm. Terminals tend to be gently tapered or slightly hooked rather than sharply cut, and many forms show subtle cursive influences (notably in the lowercase). Numerals and capitals keep the same delicate stroke weight and rounded geometry, maintaining an even texture despite the italic motion.
Best suited to short- to medium-length settings where its thin strokes and italic energy can breathe—brand wordmarks, packaging, magazine features, pull quotes, and display headlines. It can also work for UI accents or captions in high-contrast layouts, but will generally perform most confidently at larger sizes.
The overall tone is airy and refined, with a friendly, handwritten hint that keeps it from feeling rigidly technical. Its light touch reads as elegant and contemporary, suggesting speed and ease rather than authority or heaviness.
The design appears intended to provide a lightweight italic voice that blends modern sans clarity with a subtle cursive character. It aims for a smooth, stylish texture that feels fast and graceful while staying legible and uncluttered.
Spacing appears comfortable and the italic angle is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures, producing a cohesive, forward-leaning line. Several glyphs feature distinctive curved entry/exit strokes that add personality while remaining restrained and clean.
