A delicate monoline sans with rounded, softly drawn curves and restrained terminals. Strokes maintain a consistent thinness with subtle optical modulation at curves, and counters are generous, giving letters an open, breathable texture. Proportions lean tall with long ascenders and a notably high x-height, while curves in forms like C, O, and G read as smooth and slightly elliptical rather than rigidly geometric. Overall spacing feels even and light, producing a refined, uncluttered rhythm in text.
It works well where a subtle, contemporary voice is needed: UI labels, lightweight brand systems, and clean packaging. The open counters and high x-height help maintain clarity at smaller sizes, while the tall proportions can add elegance in headings and short editorial passages.
The font conveys a calm, unobtrusive tone—modern and understated, with a friendly warmth from its rounded shapes. Its light touch and open forms feel careful and approachable rather than technical or loud, making it well suited to designs that aim for simplicity and clarity.
The design appears intended to provide a modern, highly legible sans with a softer, more human feel than strict geometric faces. By keeping strokes thin and forms open, it prioritizes a light typographic color and an unobtrusive presence in layouts.
Round letters stay very open, and the lowercase shows a distinctly modern, simplified construction (notably in single-storey forms such as a and g). Numerals are similarly slender and airy, matching the text color and maintaining a consistent, quiet presence.
