A hairline, monoline italic with smooth, rounded bowls and clean, unadorned terminals. The slant is consistent across caps and lowercase, with a light, sketch-like stroke that keeps forms crisp without adding contrast. Curves are drawn from generous arcs and ellipses, while diagonals stay straight and taut, giving the alphabet a neat, geometric rhythm. Spacing appears open and even in text, and the numerals follow the same slender, streamlined construction.
Best suited for large-size applications where the hairline stroke can breathe: fashion and beauty branding, magazine headlines, lookbooks, premium packaging, and elegant poster typography. It can also work for short UI labels or navigation in high-resolution contexts when set with ample size and spacing.
The overall tone is quiet and sophisticated, reading as contemporary and fashion-leaning rather than utilitarian. Its thin, floating line quality feels delicate and premium, with an understated, editorial elegance.
The design appears intended to provide a refined italic voice for modern identities and display typography, prioritizing graceful curves, minimal construction, and a sleek silhouette over robustness at small sizes.
Uppercase forms are simplified and rounded, avoiding sharp modulation; the lowercase carries a gentle, continuous flow with minimal calligraphic cues beyond the steady slant. The dot on i/j is small and unobtrusive, and the design maintains a consistent lightness that emphasizes whitespace and line rhythm.
