A monoline sans with a consistent, hairline stroke and a steady rightward slant. Forms are compact and vertically oriented, with rounded bowls and open apertures that keep counters clear despite the tight width. Curves are drawn with smooth, elliptical geometry, while straight strokes stay crisp and slightly tensioned, giving the design a controlled, drafting-like rhythm. Terminals are clean and unembellished, and the figures follow the same lean, using simple shapes with unobtrusive curves.
Best suited to display settings where a light, stylish voice is desired—magazine headlines, brand identities, product packaging, and posters. It also works for short pull quotes or UI moments that need a sleek accent, while long passages may require generous size and line spacing to preserve clarity.
The overall tone is refined and quiet, reading as contemporary and polished rather than casual. Its slim profile and italic motion add a sense of speed and sophistication, creating a fashionable, editorial feel without overt stylization.
Designed to deliver a sleek italic sans voice with minimal stroke weight and compact proportions. The intent appears to prioritize elegance and contemporary neutrality, offering a refined texture for modern branding and editorial typography.
Uppercase and lowercase share a coherent slanted construction, producing an even texture in text lines. Round letters remain legible through generous inner space, and the numerals match the letterforms in restraint and simplicity, supporting a unified typographic color.
