A slender, monoline sans with a consistent rightward slant and generous internal space. Curves are drawn with smooth, near-circular geometry (notably in O, C, e, and 8), while straight strokes stay clean and linear with sharp, precise joins in letters like A, M, N, V, and W. Terminals are largely unadorned and crisp, and the overall rhythm feels lightly paced due to the open counters and restrained stroke presence. Ascenders and descenders are relatively long, giving the lowercase a tall, elegant profile and a slightly calligraphic, drawn-line impression without obvious stroke modulation.
Best suited to display settings where its thin strokes and slanted, monoline construction can be appreciated—such as headlines, brand marks, fashion or lifestyle editorial, posters, and elegant packaging. It also works for short subheads and pull quotes when set with comfortable size and spacing.
The font conveys a refined, contemporary lightness—more poised than playful—suggesting clarity, restraint, and a fashion-forward sensibility. Its slanted stance adds motion and sophistication, creating an understated, premium tone rather than a purely utilitarian one.
The design appears intended to provide a minimalist, contemporary italic voice: clean sans forms softened by rounded geometry and a steady slant, optimized for a graceful, high-end look in display typography.
The numeral set follows the same minimal, airy construction with rounded bowls and thin horizontals, maintaining a cohesive texture in running text. In the sample paragraph, the spacing and open shapes keep the color light and breathable, emphasizing elegance over dense readability at small sizes.
