A monoline sans with a pronounced rightward slant and generous horizontal proportions. Forms are built from clean circular and elliptical curves, paired with straight, lightly angled strokes; terminals are crisp and unadorned. Counters are open and rounded, joins are smooth, and the overall rhythm feels even and spacious, aided by ample internal whitespace and a relatively small cap-to-ascender feel compared to the tall lowercase body. Numerals follow the same restrained geometry, with simple, legible shapes and consistent stroke weight.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and short-to-medium editorial passages where its spacious geometry and slanted cadence can be appreciated. It also fits brand identities, packaging, and poster work that benefit from a clean, premium look and a sense of motion. For very small sizes, the extremely light strokes may call for careful contrast and generous spacing.
The overall tone is sleek and contemporary, with an elegant, understated energy. Its light, leaning construction reads as sophisticated and design-led, suggesting fashion, editorial polish, and a calm, premium minimalism rather than utility neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary geometric voice with an italic-driven sense of momentum, balancing minimal construction with refined proportions for high-end display and editorial use.
Round letters (like O/C/e) appear close to true circles, while diagonals (A/V/W/X/Y) emphasize the font’s forward motion. The italic angle is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, giving text a cohesive, flowing texture in longer settings.
