A delicate geometric sans built on consistent monoline strokes and generous, clean curves. Round letters like C, O, and Q read as near-circular forms, while verticals are straight and even, producing a smooth, restrained rhythm. Proportions feel tall with a prominent x-height and short ascenders, and counters remain open and uncluttered. Terminals are clean and simple, and the overall spacing gives the face a light, breathy presence in text.
Best suited to display typography where its thin strokes and geometric construction can be appreciated—headlines, brand marks, posters, editorial titles, and upscale packaging. It can also work for short text blocks in spacious layouts, especially where a minimal, modern voice is desired.
The font conveys a calm, contemporary tone—precise and understated rather than expressive. Its thin, orderly construction feels refined and design-forward, with a subtle futuristic neatness that suits minimalist layouts.
The design appears intended to deliver a sleek, contemporary geometric voice with minimal contrast and high visual clarity. Its simplified shapes and consistent stroke treatment suggest a focus on elegance and modernity over warmth or calligraphic personality.
Uppercase forms lean strongly geometric, with sharp, clean diagonals in A, V, W, and X contrasting the circular bowls. The lowercase is simplified and modern, with single-storey a and g and a compact, unobtrusive dot on i/j, helping the texture stay smooth at display sizes. Numerals are equally light and streamlined, matching the letterforms’ quiet geometry.
