A slender, monoline sans with a consistent rightward slant and a tall, condensed stance. Strokes stay extremely even with rounded terminals and smooth, elliptical curves, giving counters an open, clean feel. The rhythm is light and continuous, with gently extended ascenders/descenders and simple, uncluttered construction that keeps forms readable despite the thin line weight.
Best suited for headlines, deck copy, and short passages where a light, sophisticated voice is needed—such as fashion/editorial design, boutique branding, packaging, and airy poster typography. It performs particularly well in larger sizes or with generous tracking where its fine strokes and smooth curves can breathe.
The overall tone is quiet and elegant, leaning contemporary and understated rather than loud or geometric. Its thin, leaning forms suggest speed and finesse, creating a tasteful, fashion-forward impression.
The design appears intended to provide a minimal, elegant italic voice with a sleek, elongated silhouette and a calm reading rhythm. It prioritizes graceful curves and uniform stroke behavior for a clean, contemporary look.
Round letters maintain a soft, oval geometry, while straight strokes feel slightly elastic due to the consistent slant. The numerals follow the same light, streamlined logic, and the sample text shows an even texture that favors spacious layouts and larger sizes.
