A monoline sans with slender strokes and generous internal space, built from clean circular arcs and straight stems. Proportions feel horizontally roomy with broad rounds (notably in O/C/G) and a steady, upright stance. Curves are smooth and continuous, terminals are crisp and unembellished, and joins stay simple, producing an even, quiet rhythm. The lowercase shows a notably tall x-height with compact ascenders, while counters and apertures remain open for a light, breathable texture in text.
Best suited for display contexts where its fine stroke and open geometry can read clearly—brand identities, logotypes, editorial headlines, and spacious layouts. It also works well for premium packaging and interface titles where a light, modern voice is desired, especially at larger sizes with comfortable tracking.
The overall tone is minimalist and contemporary, with a delicate, almost architectural elegance. Its thin, precise lines convey sophistication and restraint, reading as calm and polished rather than expressive or playful.
The design appears intended to deliver a refined geometric sans for modern communication: thin, carefully balanced shapes that feel spacious and precise, prioritizing clarity and a sleek visual signature over heavy emphasis or high warmth.
Round letters maintain consistent geometry across cases, while diagonals (V/W/X/Y) stay sharp and clean, adding a subtle technical edge. Numerals share the same airy construction, with rounded forms that keep the set cohesive alongside the letters.
