A monoline sans with a consistent rightward slant and notably open counters. Strokes are extremely fine and even, with rounded, gently elliptical bowls and smooth joins that keep the texture light. Proportions favor tall ascenders/descenders and compact widths, giving lines a vertical, streamlined rhythm. Terminals tend to be clean and understated, and the overall drawing stays simple and geometric without abrupt angular breaks.
Best suited to applications where a light, refined presence is desired—such as magazine headlines, lookbooks, brand wordmarks, and upscale packaging. It also works for short UI labels or captions when set generously with ample size and spacing, but its hairline strokes favor larger settings and high-contrast production.
The overall tone is elegant and understated, with a quiet, contemporary feel. Its thin strokes and slanted posture create a sense of speed and sophistication, reading more like a fashion or editorial voice than an emphatic display style.
Likely designed to provide a minimalist italic voice that feels modern and polished while staying neutral enough for broad branding use. The emphasis appears to be on airy texture, smooth geometry, and an elegant diagonal rhythm rather than heavy personality or ornament.
In the sample text, spacing feels measured and the slant is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, producing an even diagonal flow. The numeral forms are similarly light and rounded, blending seamlessly with the letterforms for a cohesive typographic color at larger sizes.
