A hairline monoline sans with a consistent, near-uniform stroke and a pronounced rightward slant. Letterforms lean on clean geometric construction—round characters read as near-circular, while diagonals are sharp and tightly controlled. Terminals are crisp and unembellished, with open apertures and generous counters that keep shapes legible despite the thin stroke. Proportions are elegant and lightly condensed in feel, and the overall rhythm is smooth, with a refined, high-precision outline quality across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, magazine-style editorial layouts, brand marks, and upscale packaging where a light, elegant voice is desired. It can work for short subheads and captions when set with comfortable size and spacing, but its hairline strokes favor larger sizes and high-contrast reproduction.
The tone is sleek and understated, projecting a contemporary, fashion-forward sensibility. Its delicate weight and disciplined geometry create a calm, premium feel—more poised and editorial than casual or playful.
Designed to deliver a minimal, geometric italic voice that feels precise and elevated while remaining broadly functional. The consistent monoline stroke and clean terminals suggest an emphasis on modernity and typographic restraint for contemporary visual systems.
The slant is strong enough to read as intentionally italic rather than merely oblique, which adds motion and a sense of sophistication. Numerals follow the same minimalist logic, with simple curves and clean diagonals that keep them visually aligned with the letterforms.
