A monoline sans with extremely thin, even strokes and generous interior space. Letterforms lean toward geometric construction with rounded bowls (C, O, Q) and clean, straight-sided verticals, producing a light, crystalline texture. Terminals are mostly flat and unembellished, and curves are drawn with a smooth, continuous radius; joins stay crisp, giving diagonals (V, W, X, Y) a sharp, precise feel. The lowercase is simple and open, with single-storey a and g, tall ascenders, and compact, unobtrusive punctuation-like details such as the i/j dots.
Best suited to display applications where its fine strokes can be appreciated: headlines, fashion or beauty branding, editorial titling, posters, and high-end packaging. It can work for short text in spacious layouts at comfortable sizes, especially in print or high-resolution digital settings where the hairline strokes remain clear.
The overall tone is delicate and modern, reading as calm, understated, and design-forward. Its hairline presence suggests elegance and restraint, with a slightly architectural, gallery-style cleanliness rather than warmth or informality.
The design appears intended to deliver a sleek, minimal, geometric voice with an emphasis on lightness and visual economy. By keeping stroke contrast and detailing to a minimum, it aims for a clean, contemporary presence that pairs well with generous whitespace and refined composition.
Round characters stay close to circular, while straight characters keep a disciplined, grid-like posture, creating a consistent rhythm across caps, lowercase, and numerals. The numerals follow the same thin, outlined logic, with smooth curves and minimal detailing, helping maintain a uniform, lightweight color in running text.
