A monoline sans with delicate strokes and generous interior space, built from clean circular and elliptical curves paired with straight, lightly tensioned stems. Proportions feel tall and open, with long ascenders and a high x-height that keeps lowercase forms legible despite the fine weight. Terminals are simple and unadorned, curves are smoothly drawn, and counters stay wide, producing an even, breathable rhythm. Figures follow the same linear construction, with rounded shapes and a simple, contemporary geometry.
Works well for modern branding, headlines, and editorial typography where a clean, premium atmosphere is desired. It also suits posters and packaging that benefit from spacious letterforms and restrained elegance, and can be effective in UI for large labels or navigation where the thin stroke is supported by sufficient size and contrast.
The overall tone is minimal and contemporary, projecting a quiet elegance rather than emphasis or display. Its thin presence and rounded construction give it a light, refined character suited to understated, design-forward settings.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver a contemporary, geometric clarity with a deliberately light touch. The emphasis on smooth curves, open counters, and simple terminals suggests an intention toward minimal, sophisticated communication rather than strong typographic voice.
The design leans strongly on circular bowls and consistent stroke endings, creating a cohesive, geometric feel across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals. At text sizes the fine strokes can read understated, while at larger sizes the precision and openness become the main visual feature.
