A monoline sans with rounded, geometric construction and a distinctly airy rhythm. Strokes are extremely thin and consistent, with smooth circular/elliptical bowls and generous internal space. Proportions skew wide, with extended horizontals and open counters that keep forms legible despite the delicate weight. Terminals are clean and unadorned, and the overall spacing reads even and calm in continuous text.
Best suited to headlines, large-format typography, and brand marks where its thin strokes and wide proportions can breathe. It can also work for editorial pull quotes, packaging, and UI moments that prioritize a sleek, minimal look, ideally at sizes and contrast levels that preserve the fine line.
The tone is quiet and contemporary, leaning toward elegant minimalism rather than personality-driven display flair. Its delicate line and spacious shapes suggest a refined, editorial feel with a light, architectural clarity.
The design appears intended to deliver a clean, modern sans voice built from simple rounded geometry, emphasizing lightness, openness, and a polished contemporary finish.
The uppercase and lowercase share a coherent rounded geometry, with simplified joins and a restrained, almost diagrammatic drawing style. Numerals follow the same thin, open treatment, giving the full set a consistent, understated presence.
