A monoline sans with geometric construction and generous horizontal proportions. Curves are built from near-circular arcs and broad ellipses, while straight strokes remain thin and even, producing a clean, low-friction rhythm. Many joins resolve with smooth continuity rather than abrupt terminals, and counters tend to stay open and wide, enhancing clarity. Overall spacing feels ample, with a calm, consistent texture across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited for large sizes where its thin strokes and wide geometry can breathe—headlines, logotypes, posters, and brand systems with a minimalist aesthetic. It can also work for short UI labels and navigation where a clean, contemporary voice is desired, though longer passages may benefit from larger sizes and comfortable tracking.
The tone is sleek and understated, with a contemporary, tech-adjacent feel. Its thin strokes and wide forms read as quiet and precise rather than expressive, giving it a cool, editorial neutrality suited to modern interfaces and minimalist branding.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, geometry-first sans that prioritizes airy elegance and broad silhouettes. By keeping stroke weight extremely consistent and emphasizing circular forms, it aims for a sleek, futuristic clarity that stands out through proportion and restraint rather than contrast or ornament.
Uppercase forms lean toward simple geometric silhouettes, while lowercase maintains the same circular logic, keeping the family feeling cohesive in mixed-case text. Numerals follow the same ellipse-driven approach, emphasizing smooth curves and a light footprint.
