A monoline, slanted sans with wide proportions and generous spacing. Curves are drawn with clean circular/elliptical geometry, giving bowls and counters a smooth, open feel, while straight strokes stay crisp and evenly weighted. Terminals are simple and unadorned, and the overall construction favors clarity and lightness, with rounded forms (O, C, e, o) contrasting gently against angular joins (A, V, W, X). Figures follow the same linear, geometric logic, reading cleanly in a thin outline-like stroke.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, brand marks, editorial titles, and poster typography where its thin stroke and wide proportions can breathe. It can also work for packaging and short marketing copy when set with ample size and spacing, while longer text would benefit from larger point sizes to preserve clarity.
The tone is understated and contemporary, with a delicate, fashion-forward polish. Its light, spacious rhythm feels calm and premium rather than loud, suggesting a design aimed at elegance and restraint.
The design appears intended to deliver a sleek, modern sans voice with a refined italic cadence and geometric roundness. Its emphasis on lightness, openness, and consistent linear construction suggests a focus on stylish display typography rather than utilitarian body text.
The italic angle is consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, creating a cohesive forward motion. The sample text shows comfortable word shapes at larger sizes, where the open counters and wide set help maintain legibility despite the very fine stroke.
