A very thin, monoline sans with a geometric foundation and carefully controlled curves. The strokes are consistent and delicate, with round bowls and open counters that keep the texture light and breathable. Proportions are compact and narrow, with smooth circular forms in C/O/Q and simplified, straight-sided construction in letters like E/F/H. Details stay restrained: joins are clean, terminals are mostly straight, and the overall rhythm favors even spacing and a calm, linear flow.
Best suited to headlines, large-size editorial typography, and brand marks where the hairline strokes can remain crisp. It works well for fashion and beauty packaging, gallery/event posters, and clean, modern identity systems. For longer passages, it benefits from generous size and line spacing to preserve legibility and avoid a washed-out texture.
The font reads as polished and understated, with an airy, high-end feel. Its extreme lightness and precise geometry suggest modern editorial sophistication rather than casual utility. The tone is quiet and refined, suitable for designs that want elegance without ornament.
The design appears intended as a refined, geometric hairline sans that delivers a premium, modern look with minimal visual noise. It prioritizes smooth curves, consistent stroke logic, and a calm, narrow rhythm for elegant display typography.
Distinctive features include a single-storey lowercase a, a double-storey g with a looped lower form, and a Q with a subtle tail that crosses the bowl. Numerals are similarly light and geometric, with rounded shapes in 0/8/9 and minimal, linear construction in 1/7, maintaining a consistent, delicate presence in mixed typography.
