A geometric sans with superelliptical rounds and a pronounced thick–thin modulation that gives many letters a “filled arc over hairline stem” construction. Curves are smooth and near-rectangular in their rounding, while straight strokes often reduce to very thin verticals, creating a crisp, graphic rhythm. Counters tend to be open and simplified, and several glyphs use loop-like joins or single-storey forms that emphasize circular movement over strict linear structure. Numerals follow the same system, mixing bold curved segments with sparse, hairline connections for a distinctive, display-oriented texture.
Best suited to headlines and short settings where its contrast and geometric curves can be appreciated—brand marks, fashion and lifestyle identities, posters, packaging, and editorial display lines. It can also work for pull quotes or section headers, while extended body text will generally demand generous sizing and spacing to preserve the fine hairlines.
The overall tone feels Art Deco–leaning and fashion-forward, balancing elegance with a quirky, ornamental twist. Its high-stylization and airy hairlines add a sense of sophistication, while the rounded, looped details keep it friendly and expressive rather than severe.
The font appears designed to reinterpret geometric sans forms through superelliptical construction and dramatic stroke contrast, creating a modern display face with a retro-tinged, decorative personality. The emphasis seems to be on distinctive silhouettes and rhythmic curves rather than neutral, text-first utility.
The design relies on consistent superelliptical geometry in bowls and terminals, producing a cohesive “rounded-rectangle” family resemblance across capitals, lowercase, and figures. Stroke contrast is used as a primary stylistic device, so readability shifts noticeably with size and background complexity.
