A delicate, single-stroke sans with a geometric backbone and softly rounded corners. Curves are drawn as clean arcs and near-circular bowls, while straight strokes stay consistent and evenly weighted. Terminals tend to be gently rounded, giving the outlines a smooth, continuous feel. Uppercase forms are simple and open, with generous counters; the lowercase keeps a tidy rhythm with compact ascenders/descenders and clear joins. Numerals follow the same light, rounded construction, with an especially open “3,” circular “0,” and smooth “8.”
Best suited to display and larger sizes where its thin stroke can remain crisp—such as headlines, brand marks, packaging, and editorial pull quotes. It can also work well for UI labels or navigation in bright, minimal interfaces, especially when ample spacing and contrast are available.
The overall tone is calm and contemporary, leaning toward an understated, airy elegance. Its light presence and rounded geometry read as friendly and approachable rather than technical, while still feeling precise and orderly.
The font appears designed to deliver a modern geometric voice with an intentionally light touch, prioritizing smooth curves, open counters, and a clean reading rhythm. Its restrained construction suggests an aim for contemporary sophistication without sacrificing approachability.
The design emphasizes clarity through open apertures (notably in letters like “c,” “e,” and “s”) and unobtrusive details. Diagonals (as in “V,” “W,” “X,” and “Y”) feel sharp but not harsh due to the softened stroke endings, helping maintain a consistent, gentle texture in text.
