A monoline geometric sans with extremely thin strokes and generous internal space. Letterforms rely on near-circular bowls and simple straight segments, creating a clean, schematic feel with open counters and minimal detailing. Curves are smooth and consistent, terminals are largely plain, and joins stay crisp, giving the design a light, precise rhythm. Numerals and capitals maintain the same delicate, constructed logic, with rounded forms (0, 6, 8, 9) kept spacious and angular forms (A, V, W, X, Z) drawn with straight, fine diagonals.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, brand marks, poster typography, and stylish editorial callouts where its delicate strokes can remain crisp. It can also work for packaging and identity systems that favor a minimal, high-end aesthetic, especially at larger sizes or in high-contrast print/digital conditions.
The overall tone is quiet, modern, and carefully composed—more gallery-like than utilitarian. Its thin, open construction reads as elegant and understated, with a contemporary, design-forward character.
The design appears intended to deliver a refined, geometric sans voice with a hairline presence—prioritizing purity of shapes, consistent curve logic, and a modern, premium feel for display-driven typography.
The very light stroke and generous spacing emphasize clarity of form over robustness, producing a polished hairline look. Rounded glyphs feel especially smooth and balanced, while the straight-stemmed letters keep a calm, architectural order.
