A very thin, monoline sans with an oblique stance and generous horizontal spacing. Forms lean toward geometric construction, combining near-circular bowls with straight, lightly angled stems and crisp joins. Curves are smooth and open, terminals are clean and unembellished, and counters are roomy, giving the alphabet a bright, low-density texture. Capitals feel tall and restrained, while the lowercase maintains a balanced, readable rhythm with simple single-storey shapes and compact joins.
Best suited to large sizes where the hairline strokes can remain clear, such as headlines, logotypes, posters, and premium packaging. It also works well for airy editorial display settings and modern UI or motion graphics where a light, sophisticated voice is needed, while avoiding small, low-contrast reproduction contexts.
The overall tone is calm and understated, with a sleek, contemporary elegance. Its fine strokes and gentle slant suggest a precise, design-forward personality—more refined and atmospheric than forceful—suited to modern, minimalist branding moments.
The design appears intended to provide a sleek, modern display sans that prioritizes elegance and clarity through minimal stroke weight, geometric simplicity, and a subtle oblique dynamism.
Round glyphs (like O, C, and 0) read as clean, even ellipses, while diagonals (A, V, W, X, Y) emphasize the font’s light, wireframe-like structure. Numerals are similarly streamlined, with smooth, open curves and minimal detailing that keeps the set visually consistent.
