A monoline sans with tall, slender proportions and generous internal space. Curves are drawn as smooth, slightly oval bowls with consistent stroke weight, and joins stay clean and understated. Terminals are soft and rounded rather than sharply cut, giving the outlines a gentle finish. Uppercase forms are simple and open (notably in C, G, S), while the lowercase maintains a straightforward, modern skeleton with readable ascenders and descenders. Numerals follow the same light, rounded construction, with an especially circular 0 and softly contoured 2 and 3.
Best suited to display settings where its airy strokes and tall proportions can remain crisp—such as headlines, posters, packaging, and brand wordmarks. It also works well for captions, UI labels, and secondary text when sizes and contrast are sufficient to preserve the fine strokes.
The overall tone is quiet and modern, with a light, delicate presence that feels calm and approachable. Its restrained detailing and rounded geometry create a friendly, unobtrusive voice suited to clean design systems.
The design appears intended to provide a modern, minimalist sans with softened geometry—balancing cleanliness and friendliness through rounded terminals and open, simplified letterforms.
The spacing and rhythm read even and uncluttered, with a slightly condensed feel that keeps lines tidy. The light strokes and open counters emphasize clarity at larger sizes and in short bursts of text.
