A monoline, oblique sans with smooth, rounded construction and a gently geometric skeleton. Curves are drawn with clean arcs and open apertures, while straight strokes stay crisp and unmodulated, giving an even, delicate color on the page. Proportions feel extended and spacious, with a tall lowercase presence and generous sidebearings that keep text from clumping. Figures are simple and legible, matching the understated, streamlined rhythm of the alphabet.
Well-suited to editorial layouts, magazine headlines, and brand systems that want a sleek, contemporary feel with a light touch. It can work effectively in posters and packaging where openness and elegance are priorities, and it remains readable in short paragraphs when given comfortable size and leading.
The overall tone is light, polished, and contemporary, with an understated sophistication that reads more fashion and editorial than technical. Its slanted posture adds motion and a hint of informality without becoming playful, maintaining a calm, refined voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern italic voice for display and editorial typography: clean, spacious letterforms that feel elegant and current while staying neutral enough to support a wide range of art direction.
Round forms (like C, O, and the bowls in lowercase) stay smoothly elliptical, and terminals are clean and uncluttered, reinforcing a minimal, design-forward character. The sample text shows consistent spacing and an even flow across long lines, emphasizing clarity over expressiveness.
