A delicate, single-stroke sans with tall proportions and narrow set widths. Curves are smooth and close to circular, while straight strokes stay crisp and unmodulated, creating a clean, linear rhythm. Uppercase forms feel open and spacious, with simplified constructions in letters like A and K and generously rounded bowls in C, G, O, and Q. Lowercase shows compact counters and relatively small x-height, with long ascenders/descenders and a consistent, understated punctuation style.
Best suited to display settings where its fine strokes and tall geometry can be appreciated—headlines, magazine titles, lookbooks, packaging, and brand marks. It can work for short to medium editorial passages at larger sizes, especially when paired with comfortable leading and careful color/contrast choices.
The overall tone is quiet and sophisticated, leaning toward a fashion-forward minimalism. Its thin, airy presence reads modern and upscale, with a calm, gallery-like restraint rather than a loud or playful personality.
The design appears intended to deliver a refined, modern sans voice with a light touch—prioritizing elegance, geometric clarity, and a minimal visual footprint for contemporary branding and editorial typography.
The typeface relies on proportion and spacing for character: wide apertures and rounded terminals keep it approachable despite the narrow footprint. Numerals are similarly slender and streamlined, matching the letterforms’ vertical emphasis and maintaining an even, polished texture in continuous text.
