A monoline sans with a consistent rightward slant and softly rounded geometry. Curves are clean and elliptical, while straights stay crisp and lightly tapered at joins, giving an overall delicate rhythm. Counters are open and generous, with narrow joins and ample interior space that keeps forms from clogging despite the thin strokes. Proportions feel balanced rather than condensed or extended, and the lowercase maintains a calm, even texture with simple, uncluttered terminals.
Best suited to display settings where its fine strokes and open shapes can breathe—headlines, logotypes, editorial titling, and brand systems that want a light, modern voice. It can work for short text in spacious layouts, but will be most effective at medium-to-large sizes and with comfortable tracking.
The overall tone is light, elegant, and contemporary, with a subtle fashion/editorial feel. Its slanted stance adds motion and sophistication without becoming playful or casual. The thin, quiet linework reads as understated and premium.
Likely designed to provide a sleek, contemporary italic voice for modern layouts: minimal, graceful, and highly legible in display contexts. The emphasis appears to be on clean geometry, open counters, and a refined, lightweight texture that complements upscale or design-forward typography.
Uppercase shapes lean on simple skeletal construction, with pointed and angled structures (notably in A, M, N, V/W) contrasted by rounder bowls (C, G, O, Q). Numerals follow the same airy construction, with smooth curves and minimal detailing that keeps the set visually cohesive in running text.
