A delicate, monoline sans with an oblique posture and open, rounded construction. Strokes remain consistently thin, with smooth joins and softened terminals that often end in subtle curves rather than hard cuts. Proportions are compact and tidy, with generous counters and clear apertures that keep forms from closing up despite the light drawing. Uppercase shapes favor simple geometric arcs (notably in C, G, O, Q), while lowercase forms keep a straightforward, single-storey feel with modest ascenders and descenders and restrained, unobtrusive punctuation-like dots.
Well-suited for interfaces, labels, and secondary typography where a light, refined voice is desired. It can work effectively in editorial settings for pull quotes, headings, and short paragraphs, and in branding for wordmarks or taglines that benefit from a modern, minimal presence. Best used at comfortable sizes where the fine stroke can remain clear.
The overall tone is understated and contemporary, with a quiet elegance that reads as calm and carefully designed rather than expressive or loud. Its lightness and slant give it a breezy, editorial feel—polished, friendly, and slightly informal without becoming playful.
Designed to provide a minimalist oblique sans with a gentle, contemporary character and smooth readability. The consistent thin stroke and rounded geometry suggest an emphasis on elegance and visual lightness for modern layouts rather than heavy emphasis or rugged utility.
The numerals and capitals maintain the same airy rhythm as the text, with rounded bowls and minimal detailing. Spacing appears even and controlled, supporting smooth line flow in longer passages; the slant adds motion while the consistent stroke weight preserves a clean, technical finish.
