A monoline sans with a light, even stroke and generously rounded curves. The construction leans geometric—circular bowls and smooth arcs—paired with crisp, straight terminals and consistent verticals, creating a calm, regular rhythm. Proportions feel spacious with open counters, a relatively tall lowercase presence, and clear differentiation between characters; numerals and capitals maintain the same restrained, unembellished drawing for a cohesive texture in text.
Well-suited to interface typography, product pages, and editorial layouts where a clean, unobtrusive voice is needed. It can also work for understated branding systems and contemporary headlines, especially when set with generous tracking and leading to preserve its airy texture.
The overall tone is quiet and contemporary, with a delicate, polished feel. Its simplicity and open forms read as neutral and orderly, giving layouts a sense of clarity and lightness rather than emphasis or personality-driven flair.
The design appears intended to provide a modern, highly legible sans with a refined, minimal presence. It prioritizes consistency and open, geometric forms to create a versatile text-and-display tool that stays out of the way while keeping a crisp, contemporary character.
Curves stay smooth and controlled without noticeable stroke modulation, and joins are kept clean, avoiding calligraphic influence. The thin weight benefits from ample whitespace, which helps maintain legibility and a consistent gray value in larger text settings.
