A monoline sans with a consistent, very thin stroke and a pronounced backward slant that gives the forms a dynamic, swept feel. Geometry is predominantly rounded and circular, with open counters and generous internal space; straight strokes stay clean and unmodulated while curves remain smooth and lightly tensioned. Proportions are relaxed with ample sidebearings, and several letters show simplified constructions (single‑storey a and g, compact r) that keep the texture light and uncluttered. The overall rhythm is wide and breezy, with a distinctive diagonal momentum across words.
Best suited to display typography such as headlines, brand marks, posters, and packaging where the thin strokes and reverse slant can serve as a signature. It can also work for short editorial callouts, captions, or UI accents when set with comfortable tracking and sufficient size.
The backward lean and delicate line weight create a crisp, fashion-forward tone that feels light, contemporary, and slightly offbeat. Its softened geometry and open shapes add approachability, while the slanted stance lends energy and a hint of whimsy without becoming overtly decorative.
The design appears intended to offer a light, geometric sans with an unconventional reverse-italic posture—combining clean modern construction with a distinctive directional slant for recognizable, airy display typography.
Numerals follow the same airy, rounded construction and read best at moderate-to-large sizes where the thin strokes and slant can remain clear. The long diagonals and open shapes produce an animated word image, making the face more characterful than a neutral text sans.
