A monoline sans with a distinctly geometric skeleton and softly rounded curves. Strokes are consistently thin with crisp terminals and minimal modulation, giving the shapes a clean, schematic feel. Round letters (C, G, O, Q) read as near-circular with open counters, while straight-sided forms (E, F, H, I, L, T) stay simple and rectilinear. Lowercase shows a single-storey a and g, a compact shoulder on r, and smooth, open bowls on b/d/p/q; the overall rhythm is even and spacious with generous sidebearings.
Best suited to display sizes where its thin, open construction can breathe—headlines, brand wordmarks, packaging, and poster typography. It can work for short editorial decks and pull quotes when set with ample leading and comfortable tracking, especially on high-contrast backgrounds.
The tone is calm and understated, leaning toward contemporary and design-forward. Its light presence feels elegant and airy rather than loud, conveying clarity and restraint with a subtle premium finish.
The design appears intended to deliver a neutral, geometric sans voice with an emphasis on simplicity, roundness, and visual quietness—prioritizing a modern, polished look over expressive detailing.
Figures are slender and streamlined, with rounded forms (0, 8, 9) matching the circular language of the caps. The punctuation in the sample (periods, apostrophe) appears small and neat, supporting a tidy, minimal texture in running text.
