A monoline sans with a pronounced oblique slant and generous horizontal proportions. Strokes are extremely thin and even, with rounded terminals and smooth, elliptical curves that give the letters a light, continuous line quality. Counters are open and spacious, bowls are broadly rounded, and joins stay clean and understated; diagonals (A, V, W, X, Y) read as sharp but not aggressive due to the overall delicacy of the stroke. Numerals follow the same airy, streamlined construction, with simple, open shapes and minimal detailing.
Best suited to display contexts where its delicate, wide, slanted forms can breathe—such as headlines, brand marks, fashion/beauty collateral, editorial feature titles, posters, and premium packaging. It can work for short UI or caption-style use when set large enough and with sufficient contrast, but it visually excels when given space.
The overall tone is elegant and quiet, leaning toward a contemporary, fashion-forward minimalism. Its thin, spacious rhythm feels sophisticated and lightweight, conveying refinement rather than authority or ruggedness.
The design appears intended to deliver a refined, contemporary sans voice with a distinctive slanted stance and an emphasis on smooth geometric curves. Its very thin, monoline construction suggests a focus on elegance and visual lightness for modern display typography rather than utilitarian text settings.
Round characters such as C, O, Q and the lowercase a/e show a strong reliance on near-circular geometry, which reinforces a cohesive, polished texture in text. The thin strokes and wide set create a bright page color at display sizes, while extended reading at small sizes may require careful size and contrast to maintain clarity.
