A very thin, monoline sans with clean, geometric construction and generous interior space. Curves are drawn with smooth, near-circular bowls, while straight strokes stay crisp and vertical, producing a quiet, precise rhythm. Capitals feel tall and lightly proportioned, with rounded forms (C, O, Q) kept open and even, and diagonals (A, V, W, X, Y) kept sharp and sparing. Lowercase maintains a modest x-height with long ascenders and descenders, giving the text a high-waisted, airy silhouette; counters remain open and the overall color stays extremely light on the page.
Best suited to headlines, display typography, and brand applications where a light, refined voice is desired—such as magazine headings, cosmetics or lifestyle packaging, and minimalist posters. In longer passages it can work for short editorial blurbs or pull quotes when set large with comfortable tracking and leading.
The font conveys a calm, upscale modernity—delicate rather than assertive. Its thin strokes and measured geometry suggest sophistication and restraint, with a slightly fashion/editorial tone that feels polished and contemporary.
The design appears intended to provide an ultra-light, modern sans for elegant display settings, emphasizing clarity, geometric simplicity, and a graceful vertical rhythm through tall proportions and long extenders.
At text sizes, the very fine strokes create a pale typographic color, so spacing and line breaks become visually prominent. Round letters and numerals read smoothly and consistently, while the long extenders in the lowercase add a distinctive vertical cadence in paragraphs.
