A very thin, monoline sans with a consistent rightward slant and generous white space. Forms are built from smooth circular and elliptical curves paired with long, straight stems, creating a crisp geometric rhythm. Terminals are clean and unembellished, with round counters and open apertures that keep the texture light. Proportions feel slightly extended, and the overall drawing emphasizes continuity of stroke and refined, understated curves across letters and numerals.
Best suited for display settings where its fine stroke can stay crisp—such as headlines, logotypes, fashion and beauty branding, editorial spreads, and refined poster work. It can also serve as a secondary accent face for short subheads or pull quotes, especially in spacious layouts where the light typographic color is an advantage.
The font reads as quiet and sophisticated, with a fashion-forward, contemporary tone. Its light stroke and smooth geometry convey restraint and precision, giving it an editorial, high-end feel rather than a utilitarian one.
Designed to deliver an elegant italic sans voice with geometric clarity and a deliberately delicate presence. The emphasis appears to be on smooth, round construction and a sleek, contemporary texture for premium, design-led applications.
The italic construction is integral (not merely slanted), with single-storey lowercase forms and fluid joins that keep the alphabet cohesive. Numerals match the same delicate, linear treatment, supporting a consistent, minimalist typographic color.
