A monoline, rounded sans with a pronounced rightward slant and generous horizontal proportions. Strokes are extremely thin and even, with smooth circular and elliptical bowls and lightly tapered joins that keep counters open. Terminals are clean and understated, and the overall construction favors simple geometry with occasional angled cuts, creating a crisp, lightweight rhythm. Spacing reads on the roomy side, enhancing the font’s wide, airy texture in both caps and lowercase.
Best suited to headlines, logotypes, brand marks, and other display-oriented settings where its thin strokes and wide forms can breathe. It can work well for contemporary editorial pull quotes, packaging, and minimalist UI accents when used at sufficiently large sizes and with ample contrast against the background.
The tone is refined and minimal, with a breezy, modern feel that suggests lightness and precision rather than warmth or heaviness. Its slanted stance adds motion and a subtly futuristic energy while staying calm and understated.
The design appears intended to deliver a lightweight, geometric sans voice with an italic-forward sense of motion, emphasizing clarity of silhouette and a refined, modern presence for display typography.
Round characters (like O and 0) appear close in spirit, reinforcing a consistent geometric logic across letters and figures. The extreme thinness makes the style feel elegant at display sizes, while fine details and long, clean curves define the texture.
