A monoline sans with a pronounced rightward slant and a clean, geometric construction. Strokes are extremely fine and consistent, with rounded turns and generous, open counters that keep forms legible despite the light weight. Curves read as elliptical and smooth, while straights are crisp and slightly softened at joins; terminals are generally simple and unembellished. Proportions favor broad, spacious letters and a tall lowercase body, producing an even, continuous rhythm in text with modestly distinctive numeral shapes that remain streamlined and linear.
Best suited to display sizes where its hairline strokes and spacious shapes can remain clear—such as headlines, brand wordmarks, fashion or tech-oriented editorial layouts, and airy poster typography. It can also work for short UI labels or navigation at larger sizes where the slant and fine strokes won’t be lost to rendering.
The overall tone is sleek and understated, with an airy, contemporary feel. Its thin, slanted drawing suggests speed and precision, balancing a refined elegance with a lightly technical, schematic character.
The design appears intended to deliver a refined, modern sans voice with a distinctive slanted posture and minimal stroke presence. Its geometry and openness prioritize a clean, contemporary texture and a light, premium feel in display typography.
The italic structure appears built as a true slanted design rather than a casual oblique, with consistent angle across capitals, lowercase, and figures. Circular letters (such as O/C/G and o/c/e) stay open and light, while angular forms (K/V/W/X/Y) look taut and neatly controlled, reinforcing a crisp, engineered impression.
