This typeface is a slanted, monoline sans with a delicate stroke and generous inner counters. Letterforms are built from simple curves and straight segments, with a consistent, smooth drawing and rounded terminals that avoid hard corners. Proportions are compact and slightly condensed, with tall ascenders/descenders that create a light, vertical rhythm. Uppercase shapes stay clean and geometric-leaning, while the lowercase introduces a more humanist flow, especially in the single-storey forms and the softly curved shoulders.
It works best for display and short-to-medium text where its light, refined texture can breathe—such as editorial headlines and subheads, branding systems, packaging, and clean poster typography. In longer paragraphs, it benefits from comfortable sizes and line spacing to preserve readability given the fine stroke.
The overall tone feels calm and sophisticated, with a fashion-forward lightness. Its gentle slant and fine line give it a contemporary, editorial voice—polished without becoming cold—suited to understated, premium communication.
The design appears intended to provide a minimal, modern sans with an elegant slant, balancing geometric simplicity with subtle humanist softness for contemporary identity and editorial use.
Spacing appears intentionally open for the weight, helping maintain clarity in longer lines. Numerals and punctuation match the same thin, continuous stroke style, giving mixed text a consistent, cohesive texture.
