A spare monoline sans with tall proportions and generous internal whitespace. Strokes maintain an even, hairline weight with smooth, circular curves and crisp joins, giving the outlines a clean, drawn-wire quality. Rounds (C, O, Q, 0, 8, 9) are near-elliptical and open, while straight-sided letters (E, F, H, I, L, T) keep a strict vertical/horizontal discipline. Lowercase forms stay compact with small bowls and understated terminals, and the overall rhythm favors openness and calm spacing over density.
Best suited to display settings where delicacy is an asset: headlines, short statements, brand marks, packaging, invitations, and editorial pull quotes. It works particularly well at medium to large sizes where the fine strokes and open counters can remain crisp and intentional.
The tone is light, quiet, and elegant—more gallery-label than billboard. Its thin, elongated forms feel contemporary and stylish, with a slightly whimsical friendliness coming from the soft rounding and simplified construction. The result reads as refined and understated rather than bold or technical.
The font appears designed to deliver an ultra-clean, fashion-forward sans voice with a soft geometric backbone. By keeping stroke weight consistent and forms broadly rounded, it aims for a refined, minimal presence that stays legible in short passages while prioritizing elegance in display use.
The design emphasizes continuity and restraint: minimal stroke modulation, broad curves, and unobtrusive terminals. Numerals follow the same linear logic, with especially rounded 0/8/9 and a slender, simple 1 that matches the type’s vertical emphasis. In text, the airy spacing and tall capitals create a sleek, editorial texture.
