A monoline outline sans with geometric construction and softly rounded curves. The letterforms are built from consistent single-stroke contours, creating hollow interiors and a crisp, airy silhouette. Uppercase shapes lean toward simple, engineered geometry (circular O/Q, straight-sided E/F/H), while lowercase maintains a straightforward, readable skeleton with open apertures and minimal modulation. Corners are generally squared with subtle rounding where curves meet, and spacing feels even and systematic, giving the set a tidy rhythm in both the grid and paragraph samples.
Best suited to display settings where the outline construction can be appreciated—headlines, posters, logos, product packaging, and wayfinding-style graphics. It can also work for UI or motion graphics as a secondary display face, especially when paired with a solid text font for body copy.
The outline-only drawing gives the face a light, contemporary tone that reads as clean and tech-adjacent. Its hollow forms feel architectural and schematic, suggesting signage and interface styling, while the rounded geometry keeps it friendly rather than severe.
Likely intended as a clean, geometric outline companion for modern graphic systems, offering a lightweight, decorative presence without adding mass. The consistent contour weight and simplified shapes suggest a focus on scalability for titles and branded moments rather than dense text reading.
The design relies on contour clarity: at larger sizes the interior whitespace becomes a defining feature, and at smaller sizes the thin outlines can visually recede. Numerals follow the same geometric logic, with simple, open forms that match the caps’ proportions.
