A very thin, monoline sans with a consistent rightward slant and generous horizontal proportions. Strokes are smooth and even, with rounded joins and terminals that read as clean and lightly finished rather than sharp. Curves are drawn with soft, elliptical geometry—especially in O/C/G and the numerals—while diagonals (A, V, W, X, Y) are narrow and crisp, giving the design a refined, lightly drafted rhythm. Lowercase forms keep an open, uncluttered structure with tall ascenders and long, looped descenders (notably g, j, y), contributing to a flowing line texture in text.
Best suited for display settings where its thin strokes and airy spacing can be appreciated—headlines, magazine/editorial layouts, brand marks, packaging, and poster typography. It can also work for short pull quotes or UI accents when used at sufficiently large sizes and with comfortable line spacing.
The overall tone is understated and polished, with a fashion-forward lightness that feels contemporary and quiet. Its slender, slanted construction suggests speed and sophistication, lending a graceful, editorial character rather than a utilitarian one.
The design appears intended to deliver a sleek, modern italic voice with an emphasis on elegance and lightness. Its smooth curves, open forms, and consistent monoline construction prioritize a refined visual presence over dense, small-size text performance.
Counters remain open and readable at display sizes, and the ample spacing and width create an expansive, breathable color on the page. Numerals follow the same streamlined logic with rounded forms and minimal detailing, matching the letterforms’ restrained, geometric smoothness.
