A very thin, monoline sans with a geometric backbone and generously open counters. Curves are smooth and close to circular in forms like C, O, and G, while straight-sided letters (E, F, H, I, L) stay crisp and evenly weighted. The uppercase has a simple, constructed feel with pointed A and V shapes and a symmetrical, angular W. Lowercase maintains a straightforward structure with a single-storey a and g, a compact shoulder on r, and a clean, straight-stemmed t with a short crossbar; round letters like o and e read as light, open bowls. Numerals follow the same restrained construction, with a simple 1, a clean, open 4, and rounded 8/9 forms.
Well-suited to modern editorial typography, interface headings, and brand systems that want a clean, minimal signature. It can work effectively in posters and packaging where ample whitespace and larger sizes allow the thin strokes to remain clear, and it also pairs well as a lightweight companion to sturdier text faces.
The overall tone is calm and contemporary, with a restrained, precise voice that feels neutral rather than expressive. Its light stroke and geometric regularity give it an airy, refined presence suited to understated, modern layouts.
The letterforms suggest an intention to provide a neutral, contemporary sans with geometric clarity and minimal distractions. Its consistent, hairline-like stroke and open shapes appear optimized for refined display use where elegance and simplicity are prioritized.
The design relies on consistent stroke weight and clear, uncluttered joins, which helps preserve clarity at larger sizes and in spacious settings. Round forms and open apertures keep the rhythm even across mixed-case text, while the thin weight makes it feel more delicate than utilitarian.
