A delicate sans with tall proportions and pronounced stroke contrast that shifts between hairline curves and stronger verticals. Forms are built from clean, elliptical geometry with generous open counters and smooth, continuous bowls. Terminals are predominantly rounded or softly tapered, and joins stay crisp without decorative serifs. Overall spacing feels measured and calm, with a light, floating texture that stays consistent from capitals through numerals.
Best suited to headlines, mastheads, packaging, and brand marks where its refined contrast and airy texture can be appreciated at larger sizes. It can work for short editorial subheads or pull quotes, but the very delicate hairlines call for careful sizing and reproduction on screens or rough printing surfaces.
The typeface reads as poised and sophisticated, with a fashion-forward minimalism. Its extreme delicacy and tall rhythm convey a quiet luxury and contemporary editorial tone rather than utilitarian neutrality.
The design appears intended to provide a sleek, high-end sans option with a distinctly editorial presence—prioritizing elegance, vertical rhythm, and luminous hairlines while keeping the letterforms restrained and contemporary.
The design emphasizes verticality in letters like H, M, N, and the numerals, while curved characters (C, G, O, S) lean on fine hairline arcs for a graceful silhouette. Lowercase shapes remain simple and legible, with single-storey constructions visible in several letters, reinforcing a clean, modern voice.
