A monoline sans with tall proportions and a pronounced rightward slant. Strokes stay consistently thin, with rounded terminals and smoothly curved bowls that read as softly squared, giving the forms a superellipse-like feel. Counters are open and generous for the weight, and the overall rhythm is vertical and even, with compact widths and ample whitespace between strokes. Numerals and capitals follow the same understated geometry, keeping a restrained, contemporary texture in text.
Works well for contemporary branding, packaging, and editorial headlines where a light, elegant texture is desired. It can also serve for UI labels, navigation, and short blocks of text when sizes are not too small and contrast is high. Its condensed, slanted forms make it particularly effective for punchy titles, pull quotes, and modern poster typography.
The tone is light, refined, and contemporary—more poised than playful. Its slender, slanted stance suggests speed and sophistication while the rounded shaping keeps it approachable and calm. Overall it feels design-forward and understated, suited to clean, modern branding.
Likely designed to provide a sleek, space-efficient italic sans that feels modern and refined without becoming clinical. The rounded, softly rectangular curves and consistent thin stroke aim to balance elegance with clear, contemporary geometry.
The italics are integral to the design rather than a simple oblique, with consistently angled stems and curved joins that maintain smooth continuity. The thin weight creates a delicate color on the page, so the type reads best when given room and sufficient size or contrast against the background.
