A monoline sans with extremely thin strokes and generous lateral proportions. Letterforms are built from simple geometric primitives—straight stems and broad circular/elliptical bowls—producing smooth, open counters and an evenly paced rhythm. Terminals are clean and unembellished, with a mix of sharp joins (notably in V/W/X/Y) and softly rounded curves (C/G/O/Q and numerals). Overall spacing reads intentionally loose, enhancing legibility at larger sizes and reinforcing the font’s lightweight, outline-like presence.
Best suited for headlines, large-scale typography, and brand wordmarks where the hairline strokes and wide forms can breathe. It also works well for sleek UI titles, packaging, and editorial pull quotes when paired with ample spacing and high contrast backgrounds.
The tone is minimalist and contemporary, with a cool, precise feel. Its wide stance and hairline construction give it a refined, almost architectural character that leans futuristic and editorial rather than casual or warm.
The design appears aimed at delivering a clean, modern display sans that emphasizes geometry, openness, and refinement over density. Its consistent monoline construction and wide proportions suggest an intention to create a distinctive, airy voice for contemporary design systems and title settings.
Round glyphs stay consistently circular and calm, while diagonals and horizontals remain crisp, creating a clear geometric contrast. The numerals mirror the same restrained construction, with smooth curves and simple, linear joins that keep the set visually uniform.
