A very thin, monolinear sans with wide proportions and a clean, geometric construction. Curves are drawn with large, even-radius arcs, producing near-circular bowls in letters like O, C, and G, while verticals remain straight and crisp. Terminals are simple and rounded rather than sharply cut, keeping joins smooth and reducing visual noise at small junctions. Spacing is generous and the overall rhythm is even, with open counters and clear apertures that emphasize lightness and transparency.
Best suited to display roles where its thin strokes and wide letterforms can breathe—headlines, large-format editorial typography, posters, and brand wordmarks. It can also work for short UI labels or navigation at larger sizes where its open forms and generous spacing remain clear.
The tone is sleek and understated, leaning toward contemporary editorial and gallery-like minimalism. Its delicate strokes and expansive width convey a quiet, refined sophistication rather than a utilitarian or playful voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, minimalist sans with a distinctly wide stance and refined hairline presence, prioritizing elegance and smooth geometric clarity over dense color or rugged texture.
Uppercase forms feel particularly architectural due to the combination of wide set widths and simple, unembellished structure. Numerals follow the same light, rounded logic and sit comfortably alongside the text, reinforcing a consistent, airy texture across mixed content.
