A delicate, monoline sans with a steady rightward slant and generous interior space. Strokes are consistently thin with smooth, rounded joins and softly squared terminals, giving curves a clean, continuous feel. Proportions are compact and upright in footprint while the italic construction introduces a crisp forward rhythm; counters in C, O, and G stay open and even. Numerals follow the same light, linear logic, with simple, unobtrusive forms and restrained detailing.
Best suited to display and short-to-medium text where a light, modern voice is desired: fashion and beauty branding, editorial headlines and pull quotes, packaging, and refined poster typography. It can also work for UI accents or labels when set at comfortable sizes with ample tracking.
The overall tone is calm and polished, with an understated elegance that reads contemporary rather than expressive. Its slight lean and fine line weight add a sense of motion and sophistication without becoming decorative, producing a quietly premium feel.
The design appears intended to provide a contemporary italic sans with a minimal, monoline construction—prioritizing smooth curves, consistent rhythm, and a refined, lightweight presence for high-end, modern communication.
Round letters maintain consistent ovality and spacing, and the set keeps a cohesive cadence across caps, lowercase, and figures. Diagonals (A, V, W, X, Y) are sharply drawn but remain gentle due to the thin stroke and rounded finishing, helping the font feel precise yet approachable.
