A monoline sans with a consistent rightward slant and generous, rounded geometry. Strokes are extremely thin and even, producing a delicate outline-like color on the page. Curves are built from smooth circular and elliptical arcs (notably in C, G, O, Q, and the bowls of b/d/p/q), while diagonals are crisp and lightly tensioned in letters like A, V, W, X, and Y. Terminals are clean and unembellished, counters are open, and spacing feels roomy, contributing to a light, breathable rhythm in both uppercase and lowercase.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, short editorial lines, brand marks, and premium packaging where its thin strokes can be supported by sufficient size and contrast. It also works well for modern lifestyle or beauty-oriented identities that benefit from a light, sophisticated typographic voice.
The overall tone is elegant and understated, with a fashion-forward, contemporary feel. Its soft curves and fine strokes read as calm and polished rather than bold or utilitarian, giving text a refined, airy presence.
Likely drawn to deliver a sleek, contemporary italic sans that emphasizes smooth circular construction and a refined, lightweight texture. The design prioritizes elegance and visual flow over density, aiming for a distinctive yet minimal presence in display typography.
The note-thin stroke weight makes the design sensitive to size and background contrast, while the consistent slant and rounded construction maintain cohesion across letters and numerals. The numerals share the same light, curving logic, with an especially gentle, flowing "2" and "3" that echo the lowercase’s softness.
