A very slender, monoline italic sans with softly rounded curves and open, spacious counters. Strokes keep a consistent thickness with gentle tapering at terminals, creating a clean, floating texture. The italic angle is smooth rather than abrupt, and the drawing favors simplified, circular constructions in letters like C, O, and Q, paired with light, understated joins in forms such as n, m, and h. Numerals are equally light and streamlined, with simple curves and minimal detailing that maintain the overall airy rhythm.
Best suited to display and short-to-medium editorial settings where its thin strokes can be preserved—magazine headings, pull quotes, refined brand wordmarks, and cultural or fashion-oriented posters. It can work for longer passages when set large with comfortable spacing, but it will shine most where delicacy and a clean italic voice are the goal.
The tone is light, contemporary, and quietly sophisticated, leaning more toward elegance than assertiveness. Its slim italic posture adds a sense of motion and finesse, suitable for understated, premium-feeling typography rather than utilitarian emphasis.
The design appears intended as a minimalist italic sans that emphasizes lightness, clarity, and a polished contemporary feel. Its rounded construction and restrained terminals suggest a focus on smooth reading rhythm and an elegant, modern presence in display typography.
Round letters appear especially open and even, while diagonals (A, V, W, X, Y) are drawn with thin, crisp strokes that keep the texture delicate. The lowercase shows a gentle, editorial feel, with a simple single-storey a and a compact, smooth e that support a consistent, flowing line of text.
