A hairline, monoline sans with a pronounced forward slant and generously open counters. The letterforms lean on soft geometric curves for rounds (C, O, S) while diagonals stay crisp and straight, creating a clean, drafted feel. Terminals are mostly cut cleanly with little to no flare, and joins are restrained, keeping texture light and even across words. Numerals and capitals echo the same thin, streamlined construction, with rounded bowls and simple, uncluttered shapes.
Best suited to display sizes where the hairline construction can be appreciated—headlines, fashion/editorial typography, contemporary branding, and spacious poster layouts. It also works well for short UI or product labels when set large with ample breathing room and high contrast against the background.
The overall tone feels airy and refined, with a modern, slightly sci‑fi sensibility. Its slender strokes and smooth curves convey precision and restraint, reading as calm and polished rather than expressive or decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver a lightweight, contemporary sans for elegant display typography—combining geometric roundness with an italic, forward-moving stance to suggest speed, modernity, and precision.
Because the strokes are extremely thin, the design visually depends on generous spacing and the italic slant to maintain rhythm; in dense settings it may appear delicate. Rounded forms dominate, but occasional sharp diagonals (notably in V/W/X/Y) add a subtle technical edge.
