A monoline, hairline sans with a right-leaning, oblique posture and generous horizontal proportions. Curves are drawn as clean arcs and near-ellipses, while straight strokes stay crisp and consistent in thickness, producing an even, delicate rhythm. Uppercase forms feel spacious and simplified, with round letters built from open, continuous strokes and squared-off terminals that remain unobtrusive. Lowercase follows the same light, rounded construction with smooth joins and open apertures, keeping counters clear despite the fine stroke.
Best suited to display sizes where the hairline strokes can breathe: wordmarks, fashion/beauty branding, gallery or event posters, and refined packaging. It can also work for UI headings or navigation at larger sizes when a light, sleek tone is desired, while extended body text may need careful sizing and contrast for comfortable reading.
The overall tone is calm and modern, with an airy, understated sophistication. Its thin strokes and smooth geometry suggest precision and restraint, reading as elegant and slightly futuristic rather than expressive or casual.
Designed to deliver a sleek, contemporary sans voice with minimal stroke modulation and spacious proportions. The intent appears to be a clean, geometric reading experience that emphasizes elegance and clarity through simplified forms and consistent, ultra-thin linework.
The oblique slant is uniform across letters and figures, helping long lines feel flowing and streamlined. Numerals and punctuation match the same hairline construction, keeping a consistent, minimalist color across mixed-content settings.
