A hairline sans with extremely thin strokes and an overall geometric construction. Curves are clean and near-circular (notably in C, O, Q, and the numerals), while verticals read straight and steady, producing a crisp, high-contrast feel against the page due to the very light stroke weight. Terminals are simple and unadorned, counters are open, and spacing feels generous, giving the alphabet a quiet rhythm. Proportions lean tall and slender, with a delicate baseline presence and a consistent, restrained stroke behavior across letters and figures.
Best suited for display settings where its thin strokes can stay crisp: magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, luxury packaging, and high-end web hero type. It can also work for short editorial pull quotes or captions when printed or rendered large enough to preserve the fine details.
The tone is poised and understated, with a fashion/editorial polish. Its light touch and clean geometry convey modern sophistication rather than warmth, reading as premium, calm, and carefully curated.
The design appears aimed at delivering a contemporary, premium sans for display typography, prioritizing delicacy, geometric clarity, and a clean, spacious text color over robustness at small sizes.
Round forms appear especially prominent and smooth, and the numerals echo the same thin, refined construction, with a notably graceful “2” and “3” and a balanced, open “4.” In text, the light strokes create a luminous texture with plenty of white space, favoring elegance over assertive emphasis.
