A minimalist sans with very thin, even strokes and a crisp, geometric construction. Curves are smooth and near-circular, while straight strokes stay clean and unmodulated, giving the alphabet a calm, schematic rhythm. Proportions feel compact with small counters and short lowercase bodies relative to tall ascenders, producing a light, vertical texture. Terminals are simple and mostly blunt, and joins stay restrained, keeping shapes open and legible despite the extremely fine line weight.
Best suited for large sizes where the thin strokes can breathe: headlines, short statements, logotypes, and spacious poster or packaging typography. It can also work for captions or interface accents when sufficient size and contrast are available, but it benefits from generous spacing and clean backgrounds due to its delicate weight.
The overall tone is quiet and contemporary, with an airy, understated elegance. Its delicate stroke makes it feel refined and design-forward, leaning toward editorial and gallery-like minimalism rather than loud display styling.
The design appears intended to provide a stripped-back, geometric sans for elegant display settings—prioritizing clarity of outline and a light, modern presence over robust text-color or heavy emphasis.
Round characters such as O and 0 appear closely related in structure, reinforcing a consistent geometric system. Several forms emphasize tall ascenders and deep descenders (notably in letters like l, j, y), which increases vertical rhythm and adds a slightly whimsical, handwritten-lightness without introducing obvious calligraphic contrast.
