A monoline, hairline sans with a consistent rightward slant and smoothly rounded curves. Letterforms are built from simple geometric strokes—open, circular bowls and clean diagonals—paired with generous spacing that keeps the texture light and breathable. Terminals are crisp and unembellished, and the overall rhythm feels even and controlled, with tall ascenders and a restrained, uncluttered silhouette across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to display settings where its fine stroke and airy spacing can remain clear—headlines, fashion or lifestyle branding, packaging, and editorial titles or pull quotes. It can also work for short UI or product labeling when used at comfortable sizes and with ample contrast against the background.
The tone is minimal and contemporary, with a delicate, understated elegance. Its slanted stance adds a sense of motion and sophistication without feeling expressive or calligraphic, giving it a calm, design-forward voice.
Likely designed to provide a sleek, lightweight sans with an italicized posture for modern visual identity work. The emphasis appears to be on geometric simplicity, a refined texture, and an elegant, high-end feel rather than heavy readability in small text.
Round characters like C, O, Q, and G read especially smooth and balanced, while straight-sided forms (E, F, L, T, Z) stay clean and spare. In text, the very thin strokes and open counters create a bright page color, favoring clarity at larger sizes over dense, high-impact presence.
