A very slender oblique slab serif with monolinear strokes and crisp, unbracketed terminals. The letterforms are tall and compact with generous internal whitespace, giving the face a light, wiry texture. Curves are subtly squared-off, especially in bowls and counters, and the serifs read as small, flat caps that reinforce a clean, engineered silhouette. Numerals share the same narrow stance and streamlined construction, maintaining a consistent rhythm across the set.
Works best in headlines, short slogans, and branding where a refined, technical slant is desirable. It can also suit packaging and editorial display typography, particularly where a compact italic voice is needed without heavy contrast or ornament.
The overall tone is sleek and analytical, with a quiet, contemporary cool. Its taut spacing and sharp ends create a precise, technical feel, while the oblique angle adds motion without becoming expressive or calligraphic.
Likely designed to provide an ultra-light oblique slab serif that reads contemporary and engineered, combining compact width, strict terminals, and squared curves for a distinctive, modern display color.
Uppercase forms present a restrained, almost schematic geometry, and the lowercase keeps a simple, utilitarian flow with minimal flourish. The thin build and narrow proportions make the texture feel airy at display sizes, while the squared curves help retain clarity in compact settings.
