A monoline, lightly built sans with a consistent rightward slant and gently rounded geometry. Strokes are extremely thin and even, with smooth circular/elliptical bowls and softened joins that keep corners from feeling sharp. Proportions run on the roomy side with generous internal space, and the rhythm is relaxed due to wide set letterforms and open counters. The overall drawing favors clean, continuous curves (notably in C, G, O, Q, S) paired with simple, pared-back straight segments and crossbars.
Best suited to display settings where its thin strokes and open shapes can stay crisp—such as headlines, logotypes, posters, fashion/beauty branding, and high-end packaging. It can also work for short editorial pull quotes or captions when set large with ample spacing and sufficient contrast between text and background.
The font reads as refined and understated, with a quiet, contemporary tone. Its thin lines and smooth curves give it a delicate, airy presence that feels polished rather than playful, leaning toward a minimalist, design-forward sensibility.
The design appears intended to deliver a sleek, lightweight sans voice with a subtle italic motion, prioritizing elegance and clarity of form over sturdiness. Its consistent monoline construction and rounded geometry suggest a focus on modern branding and refined display typography.
Distinctive details include a single-storey "a" and "g", a long-descending "Q" tail, and softly curved terminals on several forms that prevent the skeleton from feeling rigid. Numerals follow the same light, rounded construction, with open shapes and minimal ornamentation.
