A monoline sans with a consistent hairline stroke and a pronounced rightward slant. Forms are built from smooth, geometric curves and straight segments, yielding rounded bowls (C, O, Q) and crisp terminals with minimal modulation. Proportions feel horizontally expansive, with generous counters and open apertures; lowercase construction keeps a simple single-storey “a” and “g,” and the overall spacing reads relaxed and uncluttered. Numerals follow the same slender, linear logic with clean curves and understated joins.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, branding wordmarks, magazine/editorial titling, posters, and premium packaging where its slender strokes and airy spacing can breathe. It can also work for short pull quotes or UI accents when set with ample size and contrast against the background.
The overall tone is sleek and contemporary, with a light, fashion-forward elegance. Its thin, slanted rhythm suggests speed and sophistication while remaining calm and minimal rather than expressive or decorative.
The design appears intended as a refined, geometric italic for contemporary communication—prioritizing cleanliness, lightness, and visual flow over dense text economy. Its consistent monoline construction and spacious proportions suggest a focus on stylish display typography and elegant brand tone.
At smaller sizes the hairline strokes and open joins can appear delicate, while at larger sizes the smooth geometry and consistent stroke behavior read especially crisp. The slant is uniform across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, which gives long lines a continuous forward motion.
