A very slender monoline sans with a clean, geometric backbone and gently rounded curves. Strokes remain even throughout, with crisp terminals and generous counters that keep forms open and legible despite the light weight. The uppercase set reads tall and restrained, while the lowercase uses simple, contemporary constructions with single-storey shapes (notably a and g) and modest ascenders/descenders that maintain an orderly texture. Numerals follow the same thin, linear logic, with smooth curves and minimal detailing for a consistent, understated rhythm.
Well suited to branding systems, editorial headlines, and large-format typography where its hairline strokes can shine. It can also work for UI labels, navigation, and minimal packaging when set at comfortable sizes with ample contrast against the background. For longer passages, it performs best in larger sizes or with generous leading to preserve its airy readability.
The overall tone is quiet and contemporary, with an airy, understated elegance. Its thin strokes and open shapes feel precise and uncluttered, projecting a modern, design-forward sensibility without becoming cold or mechanical.
Likely designed to deliver a refined, minimal sans for contemporary layouts, emphasizing geometric clarity, open counters, and a delicate stroke presence. The consistent monoline construction and simple lowercase forms suggest an intent to provide a versatile, modern voice that stays out of the way of content while still feeling premium.
Round letters (C, G, O, Q) are built from near-circular forms, and diagonals (A, V, W, X, Y) are straight and sharp, reinforcing a crisp geometric feel. Spacing in text appears even and unforced, producing a light, breathable paragraph color suited to delicate typographic settings.
