A monoline sans with very thin strokes, generous internal counters, and a clean geometric construction that leans on circular and elliptical bowls. Proportions are tall and lightly condensed in feel, with long ascenders and descenders and a distinctly high x-height. Curves are smooth and consistent, terminals are plain and unadorned, and joins stay crisp without visible flare. The numerals and capitals keep a restrained, almost diagrammatic rhythm, while the lowercase maintains a steady, open texture in text.
Best suited to display and large-size typography where the thin strokes can stay crisp: headlines, posters, brand wordmarks, and editorial pull quotes. It can work for short text blocks in clean layouts, particularly in print or high-resolution digital settings where fine strokes remain legible.
The overall tone is quiet and elegant, with an airy, contemporary presence. Its delicacy reads as refined and design-forward rather than utilitarian, lending a subtle sophistication to headings and short passages.
The design appears intended as a minimal geometric sans that prioritizes lightness, clarity, and a polished modern look. It aims to create a distinctive, airy typographic color with simple forms and consistent stroke logic.
Round forms such as O/0 and bowls in b/d/p/q appear close to true circles, reinforcing a geometric voice. Many characters rely on simple, linear strokes (e.g., E, F, H, N), which emphasizes the font’s thinness and makes spacing and line breaks feel especially important at small sizes.
