A very thin, monoline italic with smooth, rounded construction and generous interior space. Curves are drawn with consistent stroke weight and softly tapered terminals, producing a clean, continuous rhythm across the alphabet. Proportions feel balanced and contemporary: wide, open bowls in C/O/Q, restrained joins, and a gentle forward slant that stays even from caps through figures. The lowercase shows simple, single-storey forms (notably a and g), with clear ascenders/descenders and a lightly calligraphic flow without becoming script-like.
Best suited to applications that benefit from a light, refined voice—editorial headlines, fashion and beauty branding, museum-style signage, and elegant packaging. It can also work for short-to-medium text at comfortable sizes where the thin strokes and open counters can remain legible.
The overall tone is understated and polished, combining a contemporary minimalism with a subtle editorial sophistication. Its light presence and steady italic motion give it a quiet, graceful character rather than a loud or expressive one.
Likely designed to provide a modern italic sans with a restrained, elegant texture—more about tone and rhythm than emphasis—offering a sleek alternative to heavier display italics while retaining a clear, readable skeleton.
Spacing reads slightly generous for the stroke thickness, which helps maintain clarity in text and reinforces the airy feel. Numerals follow the same slender, rounded logic, with smooth curves and an even slant that matches the letters.
