A very slender, monoline sans with a consistent rightward slant and softly rounded geometry. Curves are drawn with near-circular bowls and open apertures, while straight strokes stay clean and unembellished, creating a light, continuous rhythm. Terminals are mostly blunt or gently rounded, with minimal joins and a slightly calligraphic lean that keeps forms fluid without adding contrast. Proportions feel balanced with a moderate x-height, generous counters, and even spacing that maintains clarity at larger sizes.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, branding, and editorial display where its hairline weight and slanted stance can read cleanly. It works well for minimalist packaging, lookbooks, and poster typography, especially when set with ample tracking and generous leading.
The overall tone is quiet, elegant, and contemporary, with a subtle fashion/editorial polish. Its thin strokes and smooth curves convey lightness and restraint, reading as sophisticated rather than playful or loud.
The font appears designed to provide a refined, modern sans voice with an inherently italic, fashion-forward presence. Its emphasis on circular construction and monoline simplicity suggests a focus on elegance, clarity, and a smooth typographic texture in display settings.
The design’s rounded construction shows most clearly in the circular letters and numerals, while diagonals and stems remain straight and precise, reinforcing a geometric feel. The italic angle is steady across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, which helps the font read as cohesive in continuous text.
