A slender, monoline sans with a consistent rightward slant and smooth, rounded construction. Curves are drawn with near-uniform stroke thickness and generous internal space, giving letters an open, breathable texture. Proportions favor long ascenders/descenders and a relatively tall lowercase presence, while capitals stay simple and unembellished. The numerals follow the same light, circular logic, with soft terminals and minimal modulation.
Well-suited to editorial typography, brand systems, and packaging where a light, modern voice is needed. It can also work for UI labels or interface headings when set at comfortable sizes, and for posters or display settings that benefit from its airy, slanted rhythm.
The overall tone feels contemporary and understated, with a light, graceful rhythm that reads as elegant rather than assertive. Its italic stance adds a sense of motion and sophistication without becoming decorative.
Likely designed to provide a streamlined italic sans that feels geometric and refined, prioritizing clarity and a light visual footprint for contemporary layouts.
Round forms (C, O, Q, 0, 8, 9) appear especially smooth and even, and diagonals (V, W, X, Y) stay crisp while maintaining the same delicate stroke weight. Spacing appears moderately open in text, supporting a clean, minimalist color on the page.
