A very slender, monoline sans with a consistent oblique slant and rounded, smoothly drawn curves. Strokes remain even with minimal modulation, producing an airy texture and generous negative space. Round letters are built from near-circular bowls with open apertures, while diagonals (V, W, Y, K) are sharp and taut. Proportions feel slightly condensed in the vertical rhythm with long ascenders/descenders in the lowercase, and overall spacing reads comfortable and uncluttered in text.
Best suited to display and larger sizes where the thin strokes and airy spacing can remain crisp, such as editorial headlines, fashion or lifestyle branding, and poster typography. It can also work for short text runs in spacious layouts, especially where a light, modern italic voice is desired.
The overall tone is light, contemporary, and understated, with a gentle elegance that feels design-forward rather than decorative. Its thin, tilted construction suggests speed and sophistication without becoming aggressive, keeping a quiet, polished voice suitable for refined layouts.
The design appears intended to deliver a minimalist italic sans for contemporary communication, emphasizing lightness, clarity, and a refined flow. Its consistent monoline construction and open forms point to a focus on clean readability and elegant, modern styling.
Distinctive cues include a single-storey lowercase “a,” a looped “g,” and numerals that maintain the same fine, even stroke as the letters for a cohesive color. The slant is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, and the round forms stay smooth without angular breaks, reinforcing a clean, continuous rhythm.
