A monoline sans with a pronounced rightward slant and a light, even stroke. Forms lean toward circular and elliptical construction, with smooth joins and open counters that keep letters clear despite the thin weight. Proportions feel balanced and moderately tall, with rounded bowls and softly drawn terminals; diagonals are crisp and straight, while curves stay continuous and clean. Overall spacing reads relaxed and breathable, giving the text a light, refined rhythm.
Best suited to display and short-to-medium text where its fine strokes can be preserved—brand wordmarks, magazine headings, packaging, and posters. It also works well for airy UI accents or section titles when set at comfortable sizes with ample line spacing.
The tone is contemporary and understated, with a gentle elegance that feels calm and approachable. Its thin, slanted construction suggests motion and sophistication without becoming sharp or aggressive, making it feel polished and stylish.
Likely designed to provide a sleek, lightweight sans with a graceful italicized voice—prioritizing smooth geometry, open readability, and a refined presence for modern layout and identity work.
Round characters (like O/C/e) emphasize near-geometric geometry, while letterforms such as a and g use simple, single-storey structures that reinforce the clean, minimal look. Numerals follow the same light, rounded logic, staying consistent in stroke and curvature for a cohesive set.
