A monoline, geometric sans with a pronounced rightward slant and wide, open letterforms. Curves are drawn with smooth, near-circular geometry (notably in C, O, Q, and lowercase bowls), paired with flat, straight terminals that keep the texture crisp. Proportions are expansive with generous internal space and long horizontals, and the lowercase shows a tall x-height relative to ascenders/descenders, producing a large, readable core. Numerals follow the same light, rounded construction, with simple, uncluttered shapes and ample whitespace.
Best suited to display sizes where its thin strokes and wide proportions can read clearly—headlines, logotypes, contemporary branding systems, and poster titling. It can also work for spacious UI or interface headlines and editorial display settings where a light, modern tone is desired, though its airy construction benefits from adequate size and contrast in production.
The overall tone is sleek and airy, leaning contemporary and lightly futuristic. Its thin, precise strokes and wide rhythm suggest refinement and restraint, giving it a calm, high-tech elegance rather than a warm or handcrafted feel.
The design appears intended to deliver a clean, geometric sans voice with an italic-forward, streamlined presence. It prioritizes openness and smooth circular forms for a modern, premium feel, while keeping details minimal to maintain clarity and a consistent, contemporary rhythm.
Round letters stay smooth and consistent while diagonals (A, K, V, W, X, Y) create a clean, angular cadence that reinforces the italic momentum. Counters remain open and the spacing reads generous, which helps the design feel uncluttered even in longer passages. The italic is an oblique-like slant that preserves geometric structure rather than introducing calligraphic modulation.
