A slender, monoline sans with a consistent hairline stroke and a pronounced rightward slant. Letterforms are built from clean, elliptical curves and straight segments, producing smooth bowls (C, O, Q) and crisp diagonals (A, K, V, W). Terminals are unadorned and rounded-to-neutral, with open apertures and generous interior space that keep the texture light. Figures follow the same linear logic, with simple, readable constructions and a restrained, continuous rhythm across the set.
Best suited to display sizes where the hairline strokes can remain clear: headlines, brand wordmarks, editorial pull quotes, packaging, and airy poster typography. It also works for short text passages in clean layouts when ample size and contrast are available.
The overall tone is quiet and elegant, with a contemporary, fashion-forward feel. Its light touch and steady slant suggest speed and sophistication rather than emphasis, making it feel sleek, polite, and understated.
Designed to provide a minimal, modern italic voice with an emphasis on elegance and clarity. The geometry and restrained detailing aim for a refined visual signature that stays light, smooth, and contemporary across letters and numbers.
In text, the thin strokes and open shapes create a bright page color and an even, flowing cadence. The italic angle is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and numerals, helping the font read as a cohesive, intentional system.
