A monoline sans with an oblique, forward-leaning skeleton and generous horizontal proportions. Curves are drawn with smooth, near-circular bowls and open apertures, while straight strokes stay crisp and unmodulated, creating a clean, low-ink rhythm. Uppercase forms feel streamlined and geometric (notably the rounded C/G/O and simple, straight-sided E/F), and the lowercase keeps a tidy, contemporary build with single-storey a and g and lightly curved terminals. Numerals follow the same thin, airy construction, with broad, open shapes and minimal optical correction for a sleek overall texture.
Best suited to display settings where its delicate line weight and wide proportions can breathe—logotypes, brand marks, fashion/beauty packaging, magazine headings, and large-format posters. It can also work for short editorial pull quotes or UI hero text when set at sufficiently large sizes and with comfortable tracking.
The font reads as calm and contemporary, with an understated elegance that feels light, precise, and design-forward. Its thin strokes and wide stance suggest a modern, editorial sensibility—more about atmosphere and refinement than emphasis.
The design appears intended to deliver a lightweight, modern sans voice with geometric clarity and an oblique, energetic stance. It prioritizes a sleek silhouette and a refined, minimal texture for contemporary branding and headline typography.
Spacing appears intentionally roomy, helping the extremely thin strokes remain legible at larger sizes while giving text a spacious, architectural feel. The oblique slant is consistent across cases and figures, reinforcing motion and cohesion without adding calligraphic contrast.
