A slender, monoline sans with tall proportions and generous vertical reach. Strokes maintain a consistent hairline weight, with softly rounded terminals and smooth, continuous curves that keep counters open and uncluttered. The rhythm is narrow and columnar, emphasizing vertical stems in letters like H, I, M, N, and the numerals, while rounded forms (O, Q, C, G) stay light and evenly drawn. Lowercase features a compact x-height relative to long ascenders and descenders, producing a distinctly elongated silhouette in running text.
Best suited to display settings where its delicate strokes and tall proportions can be appreciated—headlines, posters, brand wordmarks, and packaging titles. In editorial layouts it can work well for pull quotes or short passages at comfortable sizes with ample spacing.
The overall tone feels quiet, airy, and understated, with a refined, contemporary lightness. Its thin strokes and rounded finishing soften the geometry, giving it an elegant, gentle presence rather than a technical or industrial one.
The design appears aimed at providing an ultra-light, space-efficient sans with softened endpoints and an elegant vertical emphasis. It prioritizes a clean, modern look with a subtle friendliness from rounded terminals, optimized for stylish display typography.
At smaller sizes the hairline strokes can visually recede, while larger sizes reveal a graceful, consistent curve logic and a calm, spacious texture. The punctuation and numerals follow the same minimalist approach, keeping forms simple and unobtrusive.
