A monoline sans with very thin strokes and smooth, geometric construction. Round letters are drawn with near-circular bowls and generous apertures, while straight-sided forms keep crisp terminals and consistent stroke weight. Proportions feel light and tall, with a noticeably small x-height in relation to the caps and ascenders, and ample interior space that keeps counters clear. Curves transition gently into stems, producing an even, quiet rhythm across both uppercase and lowercase.
Best suited for display sizes where its fine strokes and open forms can breathe—such as headlines, wordmarks, packaging, and poster typography. It can also work for editorial pull quotes or short passages when set with comfortable tracking and sufficient size to preserve stroke clarity.
The overall tone is calm and understated, leaning toward a contemporary, gallery-like elegance. Its thin, airy presence reads as precise and refined rather than loud, giving text a poised, minimalist character.
The design intention appears to be a clean, geometric sans that prioritizes elegance and visual quietness. By pairing ultra-fine monoline strokes with open, rounded structures, it aims for a modern, premium feel suitable for refined communication and minimalist layouts.
Several details add personality while staying restrained: the uppercase set maintains a clean geometric logic, the lowercase uses simple single-storey shapes, and the numerals echo the same circular/linear vocabulary for a cohesive texture. Spacing in the sample text appears generous, reinforcing the font’s lightness and openness.
