A hairline, monoline sans with a consistent rightward slant and a restrained geometric construction. Curves are smooth and near-circular in O/C/G forms, while straight strokes stay clean and unmodulated, producing a light, precise rhythm. Apertures are relatively open, counters are generous, and terminals are mostly simple with minimal finishing, giving the outlines a crisp, drafted feel. Overall spacing appears even and controlled, with numerals matching the same slender, streamlined logic.
Best suited to display settings where its fine strokes can be preserved—headlines, pull quotes, fashion and beauty branding, and upscale packaging. It can work for short editorial passages at comfortable sizes with ample leading, but will benefit from generous contrast and high-resolution output to maintain its delicate detail.
The font conveys a quiet sophistication: delicate, modern, and fashion-forward without feeling ornamental. Its thin, slanted voice reads as sleek and understated, suggesting speed and refinement more than friendliness or heft.
Likely designed to provide an ultra-refined italic sans voice that feels contemporary and architectural, balancing geometric roundness with a minimal, drafted stroke. The emphasis appears to be on elegance and pace—creating a distinctive, lightweight texture for premium display typography.
Diagonal strokes (notably in A, V, W, X, and Y) reinforce the forward motion created by the slant, while the rounded letters keep the texture from becoming sharp or aggressive. The sample text shows a consistent gray value for such a light design, emphasizing clarity through proportion rather than stroke weight.
