A monoline geometric sans with hairline strokes and generous interior space. Letterforms lean on circular and elliptical construction, with smooth, continuous curves in C/O/Q and restrained, straight-sided structure in E/F/H/N. Terminals are clean and unbracketed, joins are crisp, and counters remain open, giving the design a light, precise rhythm. The lowercase is similarly geometric, with simple single-storey forms and a rounded, compact bowl structure; punctuation and numerals follow the same thin, even stroke logic.
Best suited for display settings such as headlines, identity systems, posters, and premium packaging where delicacy and precision are desirable. It can work in short editorial passages at larger sizes, especially in spacious layouts where its thin strokes and open counters have room to breathe.
The overall tone is quiet and refined, projecting a minimalist, contemporary feel. Its thin construction reads as elegant and understated, with a slightly technical, architectural sensibility suited to clean layouts rather than expressive display.
The design appears intended to deliver a pure, geometry-driven sans that feels refined and contemporary, emphasizing clarity through simple construction and consistent monoline strokes. It prioritizes a light, elegant presence and a clean typographic color for modern graphic design.
The font’s extremely thin strokes and open apertures create a high-air, high-whitespace texture in running text. Curves appear carefully balanced against straight stems, and the overall set maintains a consistent geometric logic across capitals, lowercase, and figures.
