This typeface uses extremely slender, mostly monoline strokes with smooth, rounded joins and a clean geometric construction. Proportions are condensed and vertically oriented, giving the alphabet a tall, elegant stance with generous counters and clear apertures. Curves on C, G, O, and S read as near-elliptical, while straight-sided forms like E, F, H, and N stay crisp and unembellished. The lowercase maintains a prominent x-height and simple, single-storey forms (notably a and g), with minimal terminals and a tidy, consistent rhythm in text.
Best suited to display and short-to-medium text where a delicate, high-end feel is desired—magazines, lookbooks, beauty and lifestyle branding, posters, and packaging. It can work for body copy in spacious layouts, but the very fine strokes call for adequate size and contrast in production.
The overall tone is quiet and contemporary, with a light, fashion-forward elegance. Its restrained detailing and open forms convey clarity and sophistication rather than warmth or playfulness.
The design appears intended to deliver a sleek, modern sans voice with an emphasis on elegance and lightness, combining geometric roundness with condensed proportions for a refined, editorial presence.
Round dots on i and j and the simplified, single-storey lowercase help keep the texture clean at reading sizes. Numerals follow the same thin, airy logic, with open shapes and minimal ornamentation that suit tabular-like settings only where loose spacing is acceptable.
