A monoline sans with a consistent rightward slant and smooth, rounded construction. Strokes are very slender with minimal contrast and generous interior space, giving counters and bowls an open feel. Curves are drawn with a slightly elliptical tension, while diagonals and terminals stay clean and unembellished, producing a crisp, streamlined rhythm. Proportions read as broad with ample sidebearings, and the lowercase maintains a steady, moderate x-height with simple, unobtrusive details (notably single-storey forms in the sample set).
Well-suited to headlines, subheads, and short editorial passages where its airy slant can add sophistication and motion. It can also work effectively for brand wordmarks, packaging titles, and poster typography that benefits from a sleek, contemporary feel.
The overall tone is light and polished, suggesting a contemporary, design-forward voice rather than a utilitarian one. Its slim, slanted forms feel graceful and kinetic, lending an upscale, editorial sensibility without becoming decorative.
The design appears intended to provide a minimal, modern italic voice with a refined, fashion-leaning silhouette. It prioritizes smooth geometry, openness, and a gentle forward motion to deliver elegance and visual lightness in display-oriented typography.
The light stroke weight and open shapes favor larger sizes and settings where elegance is prioritized. In denser text or small sizes, the delicate strokes may require careful size/contrast choices to maintain clarity, especially in tight line spacing.
