A monoline, oblique sans with extended proportions and generous horizontal spread. Strokes are consistently thin with smooth, rounded joins and open apertures, giving the design a clean, linear rhythm. Curves read as elliptical rather than circular, and terminals are crisp and unadorned, keeping counters and sidebearings feeling airy. Numerals follow the same streamlined construction, with simple forms and restrained shaping that aligns with the letters’ forward-leaning cadence.
Best suited to display sizes where its thin strokes and wide proportions can breathe—headlines, posters, and brand wordmarks benefit from the sleek, extended silhouette. It can also work for short editorial pull quotes or interface titling where a modern, lightweight voice is desired, especially with ample tracking and clean contrast against the background.
The overall tone is sleek and contemporary, with a slightly futuristic, engineered feel. Its light presence and wide stance create a refined, spacious impression that reads modern and calm rather than emphatic or expressive.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver a streamlined, modern sans voice with an emphasis on speed, space, and clarity. By combining extended geometry with a consistent oblique stress and minimal detailing, it aims for a polished display aesthetic that feels contemporary and precise.
The design emphasizes continuity and flow: diagonals and curved strokes maintain a steady oblique angle, and many glyphs prioritize openness over density. Round letters stay particularly clean and roomy, while straight-sided forms keep a consistent, minimal profile that supports a smooth text texture in larger settings.
