A very thin, monoline sans with a pronounced rightward slant and generous horizontal proportions. Forms are built from clean, elliptical curves and long, steady strokes, producing an even texture with minimal contrast. Terminals are largely straight and angled, with rounded bowls and open apertures that keep counters clear at small sizes. The rhythm is loose and spacious, with a tall lowercase presence and wide, gently flowing letterfit that reads sleek rather than compact.
This style works best for display applications where its thin strokes and wide proportions can breathe—logotypes, headings, short editorial pulls, packaging titles, and sleek UI or motion graphics. For long text, it benefits from comfortable sizing and ample line spacing to preserve its airy readability.
The overall tone is light, contemporary, and refined, with a slightly futuristic, technical feel. Its slanted stance adds motion and sophistication while the thin strokes keep it quiet and understated.
The design appears intended to deliver a clean, modern italic voice—prioritizing smooth geometry, spacious proportions, and a consistent monoline build for a streamlined, contemporary look.
Round characters like O, Q, and 0 lean toward oval geometry, and diagonals (V, W, X, Y) feel long and crisp, reinforcing the font’s wide stance. Numerals follow the same monoline logic, giving them a coherent, minimalist presence alongside the letters.
