A monoline sans with a pronounced rightward slant and generous horizontal proportions. Strokes are extremely thin and consistent, with rounded bowls and softly squared joins that keep the geometry feeling clean rather than calligraphic. Curves are built from smooth arcs and near-circular forms, while diagonals (A, V, W, X, Y) stay sharp and crisp. Counters are open and spacious, and terminals tend to be simple, straight cut endings; the lowercase shows a single-storey a and g, and the numerals follow the same light, airy construction with streamlined curves.
Best suited to display settings where its hairline construction and wide stance can breathe—headlines, editorial titles, fashion and beauty branding, packaging, and logo work. It also works for short UI labels or captions when rendered at comfortable sizes and with sufficient contrast.
The overall tone is sleek and understated, projecting a quiet, contemporary elegance. Its thin, slanted rhythm feels fashion-forward and slightly futuristic, with a refined, minimalist presence rather than a friendly or playful one.
The design appears intended to deliver a minimalist, geometric-leaning sans with an elegant italic slant, prioritizing lightness, spaciousness, and a contemporary silhouette for high-end display typography.
In the sample text, the very thin strokes and wide set create a light texture with strong emphasis on whitespace; this keeps lines feeling graceful but can reduce robustness in small sizes or low-contrast viewing conditions. The italic angle is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures, giving the text a continuous forward motion.
