A very thin, monoline sans with a consistent rightward slant and generously open counters. The design leans geometric, with near-circular bowls (C, O, Q) and smoothly rounded lowercase forms, while diagonals and joins stay crisp and minimal. Terminals are clean and mostly straight-cut, giving strokes a precise, drawn-with-a-pen feel. Proportions are broad and spacious, with slightly expanded letterforms and ample internal whitespace; overall spacing reads open and even in running text.
This face works best for display settings where its thin strokes and wide proportions can breathe—magazine headlines, brand marks, luxury or tech-forward packaging, and large-format posters. It can also serve as a secondary text face for short blurbs or pull quotes when set at comfortable sizes with supportive contrast and spacing.
The overall tone is calm, contemporary, and understated, with a light, fashion-forward elegance. Its thin strokes and slanted stance convey speed and sophistication rather than warmth or playfulness, making it feel polished and intentional.
The font appears designed to deliver a clean, geometric-leaning italic sans optimized for elegance and contemporary clarity. Its emphasis on open forms, minimal terminals, and consistent monoline rhythm suggests an intention to stay neutral and modern while adding motion through the slant.
Distinctive details include a single-storey “a,” a looped “g,” and a long-tailed “Q,” all handled with the same minimal stroke logic. Numerals follow the same airy construction, with simple, uncluttered shapes that prioritize visual continuity over sturdiness at small sizes.
