A very slender, oblique sans with a smooth, rounded construction and generous horizontal proportions. Strokes stay consistently thin with gently tapered joins, giving curves a drawn, filament-like feel rather than a rigid mechanical one. Counters are open and elliptical, terminals are mostly clean and unbracketed, and the overall rhythm is spacious with broad letterforms and ample interior whitespace. The numeral set follows the same light, flowing logic, with simple, open shapes and minimal detailing.
Best suited to display contexts where its fine strokes and wide proportions have room to breathe—magazine headlines, brand wordmarks, packaging, posters, and large-format interface or campaign typography. It can work for short text settings when sized comfortably with sufficient contrast and line spacing, but its very light build favors larger sizes and higher-resolution output.
The typeface reads as light, modern, and unobtrusive, with an elegant sense of motion from its steady slant. Its wide stance and delicate lines project a clean, high-end tone that feels editorial and design-forward rather than utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, geometric-leaning sans that feels fast and elegant through oblique posture and wide, open forms. It prioritizes a refined silhouette and smooth readability in display use, emphasizing spacious counters and a minimal, modern finish.
Distinctive features include very open round forms, a single-storey lowercase “a,” and a soft, calligraphic suggestion at some joins and terminals without becoming script-like. The overall color on the page is pale and airy, so the design relies more on shape and spacing than stroke mass for presence.
