A very slanted, airy sans with elongated proportions and generous horizontal reach. Strokes are extremely thin overall but show noticeable contrast through tapered terminals and swelling curves, giving many letters a calligraphic, brushless “speedline” quality. Counters are open and oval, joins are smooth and rounded, and terminals frequently finish in sharp, angled points rather than blunt cuts. The rhythm is flowing and continuous in text, with a light footprint and a consistent forward lean across capitals, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to display sizes where the thin strokes and tapered details can remain crisp—such as headlines, title cards, brand marks, packaging accents, and modern editorial spreads. It can also work for short UI or product taglines when set large with ample spacing, but it is most effective as a stylistic accent rather than for dense reading.
The font reads as sleek and performance-oriented, with a techy, aerodynamic tone. Its thin, fast-leaning silhouettes suggest modernity and motion, while the soft curves keep it elegant rather than aggressive. Overall it feels refined, contemporary, and slightly sci‑fi.
The design appears intended to deliver a light, fast, contemporary italic voice that feels streamlined and premium. Its exaggerated slant and tapered shaping prioritize motion and elegance over neutrality, aiming to stand out in modern branding and display typography.
Letterforms emphasize long, shallow curves and angled entry/exit strokes, which creates a distinctive “gliding” texture in lines of text. The numerals mirror the same slanted, tapered treatment, and round forms like O/0 and e maintain a clean, elliptical geometry that supports a smooth, polished look.
