A slim, monoline sans with a pronounced forward slant and tall, narrow proportions. Strokes stay consistently light with gently rounded terminals, while many curves read as subtly planar or simplified, giving bowls and rounds a lightly faceted feel rather than fully smooth geometry. Letterforms are open and clean, with restrained joins and a calm, even rhythm; numerals and caps follow the same spare construction, emphasizing verticality and simplicity over mass.
Works well for headlines, short editorial display, posters, and packaging where a refined, lightweight voice is desired. It can support branding and taglines that benefit from a modern, hand-drawn delicacy, especially at medium-to-large sizes and in high-contrast reproduction.
The overall tone feels airy and understated, like a neat pen line—casual but controlled. Its slight irregularity and soft rounding keep it friendly, while the italic stance and simplified geometry add a contemporary, design-forward character.
Likely designed to provide an ultra-light italic sans with a human, pen-like touch and a subtly faceted simplification of curves. The intent appears to balance clarity with a distinctive, airy texture that stands out in display settings without resorting to ornament.
The slant is consistent across cases and figures, and the narrow set encourages a vertical, elongated texture in paragraphs. Forms remain legible through open counters and uncluttered details, though the extremely light stroke suggests best use where fine lines won’t be lost.
