A very slender, monoline sans with a consistent rightward slant and generously open spacing. Forms are built from clean circular and elliptical curves, giving rounds like C, O, and Q a smooth, continuous rhythm, while straight strokes stay crisp and unmodulated. Terminals are mostly sheared to match the italic angle, and joins are simplified and uncluttered for a sleek silhouette. Proportions feel spacious and slightly expanded, with a notably tall lowercase and compact ascenders that keep text lines even and light.
This face works best for editorial headlines, brand systems, and packaging where a light, modern tone is desired. It also suits posters and large-size UI or product typography where the open shapes and generous spacing can breathe and maintain a refined, minimal presence.
The overall tone is airy and contemporary, with a quiet elegance that reads as soft rather than assertive. Its slanted stance adds motion and sophistication without becoming expressive or calligraphic, creating a calm, polished voice suited to minimalist design.
The design appears intended as a clean, modern italic companion with a distinctly light touch—prioritizing smooth geometry, open counters, and an elegant rhythm for contemporary display and branding settings.
The numerals follow the same lean and minimal stroke logic, favoring clarity and smooth curves over decorative detail. Round characters stay very open and even, while diagonals (A, V, W, X, Y) keep a sharp, precise feel that balances the font’s overall softness.
