A crisp outline sans with monoline contour strokes and open, unfilled counters. The letterforms lean geometric, mixing circular bowls (O, C, G, Q) with straight-sided construction and squared terminals. Corners are subtly rounded, and curves are smooth and even, producing a consistent, drafting-like rhythm. Uppercase proportions feel broad and stable, while the lowercase stays simple and legible with single-storey forms and compact joins; numerals are similarly clean with straightforward, constructed shapes.
Best suited to display settings where the outline can read cleanly—headlines, posters, signage, branding marks, and packaging accents. It also works well for UI hero text or graphic overlays when you want a light, structured look without filling large black shapes.
The outline treatment creates an airy, light-on-its-feet tone that reads as contemporary and slightly playful, while the strict geometry adds a technical, schematic character. It feels more like a design element than a text workhorse, emphasizing clarity and structure over warmth or tradition.
The design appears intended to deliver a minimalist outline interpretation of a geometric sans, prioritizing uniform construction, smooth curvature, and clean terminals. The goal seems to be a versatile display face that adds visual interest through contour-only strokes while staying straightforward and readable at larger sizes.
Because the strokes are outlines, perceived weight depends strongly on size and background contrast; at smaller sizes the interior whitespace can dominate, while at larger sizes the crisp contours become a strong graphic feature. Round characters (O, Q, 0, 8) appear especially prominent due to the continuous, even contour.
