A very thin, monoline sans with a consistent rightward slant and softly rounded terminals. Forms are built from clean circular and elliptical curves paired with straight, lightly angled stems, producing an even, delicate rhythm. Counters are open and generous, with simplified joins and smooth curves that keep the texture light and spacious in continuous text. Capitals feel tall and streamlined, while lowercase shapes maintain clear, uncomplicated silhouettes with minimal modulation.
Works well for modern branding, short editorial settings, packaging, and large-format headlines where its thin strokes can stay crisp. It can also suit UI or interface accents, labels, and navigation when used at comfortable sizes with ample spacing and sufficient contrast against the background.
The overall tone is quiet, refined, and contemporary, leaning more airy than assertive. Its slender strokes and rounded geometry give it a friendly, unobtrusive voice that feels modern and calm, with a subtle handwritten-like ease coming from the consistent slant.
Likely designed to provide a minimal, geometric-leaning sans with an elegant slanted posture and a deliberately light typographic color. The emphasis appears to be on clarity, openness, and a contemporary feel rather than strong personality or heavy emphasis.
The light stroke weight emphasizes negative space, so letterspacing and line spacing play a strong role in readability. Round characters (like O/Q and 0/8/9) read as clean and geometric, while the angled diagonals and slanted stems add forward motion without becoming expressive or decorative.
