A very slender, monoline sans with a consistent rightward slant and smooth, rounded construction. Curves are drawn from clean circular/elliptical forms, while straight strokes stay crisp and evenly weighted, giving an overall low-friction, technical neatness. Terminals are predominantly clean and unadorned, and joins remain simple, with open apertures and generous interior space in letters like C, S, and e. The proportions feel balanced with a moderate x-height and a light, spacious rhythm in both the uppercase and lowercase, producing a calm texture in text.
Best suited to branding, headlines, and short editorial callouts where its fine strokes and italic flow can be appreciated. It also works well for packaging or lifestyle/beauty applications that benefit from a light, polished tone. For extended text, it will be most comfortable at larger sizes with ample line spacing due to its very thin weight.
The font reads as quiet, contemporary, and elegant—more understated than expressive. Its thin, tilted strokes suggest speed and sophistication, while the round geometry keeps it friendly and approachable rather than sharp or severe.
The design appears intended to provide a sleek italic voice within a clean sans framework, prioritizing minimal stroke logic and rounded geometry for a modern, premium feel. It aims for a refined presence that stays neutral enough for contemporary layouts while still adding motion through the consistent slant.
Round letters (o, O, 8, 9) are notably smooth and symmetrical, reinforcing the geometric base. The italic angle is consistent across letters and numerals, and the overall spacing feels deliberately open, which emphasizes delicacy at larger sizes.
