A hairline, monoline sans with a consistent, even stroke and softly rounded terminals. The letterforms lean with a steady rightward slant, combining circular bowls with straight, lightly angled stems and open apertures. Curves are smooth and geometric, while diagonals (A, V, W, X) feel crisp and finely drawn; counters are generous, keeping the texture light and breathable. Numerals follow the same delicate, rounded construction, with simplified forms that match the typeface’s restrained rhythm.
Well-suited to editorial headlines, brand wordmarks, and high-end packaging where a light, polished voice is desired. It can also work for posters and large-format titling where its hairline construction and spacious counters can be appreciated without losing clarity.
The overall tone is quiet and contemporary, with a refined, fashion-adjacent elegance. Its thin strokes and gentle slant give it a poised, editorial feel—more about sophistication and space than impact or heft.
Designed to deliver a minimal, modern sans with an italicized, geometric backbone—prioritizing elegance, openness, and a delicate typographic color for premium, design-forward applications.
At text sizes the very thin strokes create a pale typographic color, and the italic angle adds forward motion without becoming cursive. Round characters (O, Q, 0) read as clean ellipses, and the lowercase set maintains a smooth, continuous flow that emphasizes softness over sharpness.
