A slender monoline sans with tall proportions and generous interior space. Strokes maintain a consistent thickness with smoothly rounded corners and softly squared terminals, creating a clean, drawn-with-a-tube feel. Curves are built from simple arcs and near-circular bowls, while vertical stems stay straight and calm; the overall rhythm is even but slightly idiosyncratic in places, giving it a crafted, display-oriented character. Numerals and capitals echo the same rounded geometry, with open, legible counters and an overall emphasis on verticality.
Best used at display sizes for headlines, posters, branding marks, packaging, and signage where its thin, rounded linework can stay crisp and distinctive. It can also work for short UI labels or editorial pull quotes when a minimal, retro-leaning sans is desired, though it is most compelling when given room to breathe.
The font reads as minimal and airy, with a refined retro flavor reminiscent of mid-century signage and simple neon lettering. Its gentle rounding and thin structure lend a friendly, playful tone without becoming informal or handwritten. Overall it feels light-footed and modern, suited to designs that want clarity with a hint of personality.
The design appears intended to deliver a clean geometric sans that prioritizes elegance and clarity while adding subtle quirks through rounded terminals and simplified shapes. It aims to evoke a contemporary-retro mood suitable for identity and display work, pairing an orderly construction with a friendly, approachable finish.
Several glyphs lean into simplified construction—single-storey lowercase forms and smoothly arced joins—creating a cohesive geometric voice across cases. Spacing in the samples feels comfortable and open, emphasizing the font’s tall silhouette and clean linework.
