A monoline sans with an oblique construction and very open, wide letterforms. Strokes are extremely thin and even, with smooth circular bowls and softly rounded terminals. Curves are drawn with a geometric, near-compass precision (notably in C/G/O/Q and the numerals), while diagonals stay crisp and taut, giving the design a light, linear rhythm. Spacing reads generous and calm, and the overall texture remains quiet and consistent at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, logotypes, and large-format typography where its thin strokes and wide stance can read clearly. It can add a refined, contemporary edge to branding, posters, packaging, and editorial display settings, especially on light backgrounds with ample spacing.
The tone is airy and elegant, with a contemporary, almost architectural lightness. Its hairline presence suggests sophistication and restraint, producing a sleek, high-end feel rather than a casual or playful voice.
The design appears intended as a sleek, minimalist display sans that emphasizes geometric clarity and a refined oblique motion. It prioritizes elegance and modernity through extreme thinness, broad proportions, and clean circular construction.
Round letters and figures are prominent and strongly geometric, while many forms keep a slightly calligraphic slant without introducing stroke modulation. The thin joins and fine counters make it most visually stable when given sufficient size, contrast, and breathing room.
