A monoline sans with open, rounded constructions and generous internal space. Curves are drawn with near-circular bowls and smooth joins, while straight strokes stay crisp and even, producing a delicate, precise rhythm. Proportions feel horizontally generous, with wide round letters and ample sidebearings that keep words from feeling cramped. Numerals and lowercase maintain the same light, clean stroke behavior, with simple, contemporary forms and minimal modulation.
Best suited to display sizes where its fine strokes and generous spacing can shine—headlines, brand marks, and editorial titles. It can work for short UI labels or captions when set with sufficient size and contrast, but it is most compelling in airy, spacious compositions such as posters, lookbooks, and packaging.
The overall tone is quiet and polished—coolly modern rather than expressive. Its thin, open forms read as understated and premium, giving layouts a sense of restraint and clarity. The geometry and spacing add an airy sophistication suited to refined, design-forward settings.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, geometry-led sans that feels light, spacious, and refined. By prioritizing clean outlines, rounded forms, and even stroke weight, it aims for a modern visual identity that stays neutral and elegant across a range of display contexts.
Round characters (such as C, O, Q, and e) emphasize circular geometry, while diagonals (A, V, W, X, y) remain sharp and clean, reinforcing a sleek, architectural feel. The design leans on clarity of outline and whitespace rather than stroke contrast for character.
