A monoline sans with generous vertical proportions and smooth, rounded curves. Strokes are consistently thin with a crisp, even rhythm, and terminals read as clean and softly finished rather than sharply cut. Counters are open and spacious, with circular and oval forms that stay controlled and balanced; curves in letters like C, G, O, and S maintain a steady, geometric-leaning smoothness. The lowercase is compact and efficient with a notably tall x-height, while ascenders and descenders are kept tidy, supporting clear word shapes in running text. Figures are simple and streamlined, matching the same light, understated construction as the letters.
Well-suited to modern headlines, brand wordmarks, and editorial display where a light, elegant texture is desired. It can also work for UI labels and interface typography when used at comfortable sizes and with sufficient contrast, thanks to its open counters and tidy proportions.
The overall tone is quiet and refined, with a contemporary, design-forward neutrality. Its thin, uncluttered construction conveys precision and restraint, giving it a polished, airy presence that feels calm rather than expressive or loud.
The design appears intended to provide a minimalist, contemporary sans that feels light and sophisticated while remaining legible through open forms and steady, monoline construction.
The sample text shows even spacing and a consistent baseline color at display-to-text sizes, with open joins and uncluttered interiors that help maintain clarity. Curved letters keep a smooth continuity, and the straight-sided forms stay disciplined, reinforcing a clean, systematic feel.
