A monoline, oblique sans with rounded, gently elliptical bowls and an overall open, spacious construction. Strokes are extremely slender and consistent, with smooth curves paired to crisp, slightly angled terminals that keep the forms feeling sharp rather than soft. Uppercase proportions read clean and geometric, while the lowercase shows a lively rhythm through simple single-storey forms and generous apertures; ascenders are notably long, and punctuation and figures follow the same minimal, line-drawn logic.
Best suited to display settings where its thin stroke and slanted stance can read cleanly—fashion and lifestyle branding, magazine headlines, posters, and short interface or product copy at comfortable sizes. It will be most effective with ample spacing and high-contrast backgrounds that support its delicate linework.
The tone is elegant and understated, suggesting contemporary luxury and a light, editorial sophistication. Its thin, slanted gesture adds motion and delicacy, giving text a poised, fashion-forward feel without becoming decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver a minimal, modern sans that feels upscale and fluid, combining geometric roundness with a swift oblique angle for a sense of motion and refinement in display typography.
Curves tend toward near-circular geometry (notably in O/C/G and the round lowercase), while diagonals and joins stay taut, producing a crisp, airy texture. The numerals are similarly streamlined and smooth, with an emphasis on clarity over ornament.
