A very thin, monoline sans with a consistent rightward slant and clean, open construction. Curves are drawn from smooth circular/elliptical strokes, while straight strokes stay crisp and unembellished, producing a tidy geometric rhythm. Capitals are simple and roomy, with round forms (C, O, Q) staying near-perfectly smooth and a lightly curved tail on Q; diagonals (A, V, W, X, Y) are narrow and sharply resolved. Lowercase maintains a straightforward, single-storey feel where applicable, with round bowls and open apertures; ascenders are tall and slender, and terminals are clean and minimal. Figures are similarly light and rounded, with a single-storey 4 and soft, open curves in 2, 3, 5, 6, and 9.
Best suited to display and large-size typography where the hairline strokes and smooth geometry can remain crisp—such as headlines, brand wordmarks, editorial pull quotes, posters, and upscale packaging. It can also work for short UI or caption-style applications when used at comfortable sizes with ample contrast and spacing.
The overall tone is understated and contemporary, with a delicate, fashion-forward lightness. Its slanted stance adds motion and sophistication without becoming expressive or calligraphic, giving text a quiet, polished presence.
The design appears intended to deliver a minimalist, geometric italic voice that feels modern and premium. By keeping strokes uniform and forms open, it prioritizes an elegant texture and a refined, contemporary rhythm in both uppercase and mixed-case settings.
Spacing reads generous and even in the sample text, helping the thin strokes remain legible and preventing shapes from clumping at larger settings. The design favors clarity through open counters and simplified joins, which reinforces a clean, architectural feel.
