A geometric sans rendered as a single-line outline, with consistent stroke thickness and smooth, rounded curvature. Forms are built from simple circles and straight segments, producing even rhythm and clear, open counters in letters like O, C, and G. Terminals are crisp and unadorned, and diagonals (A, V, W, X, Y) are straightforward and symmetrical, reinforcing a constructed, schematic feel. Numerals echo the same geometry, with rounded bowls and minimal interior detail.
Best suited for headlines, posters, logos, and packaging where the outlined silhouette can be appreciated at larger sizes. It can work well for signage and UI accents when used sparingly, especially over solid color fields or imagery where a lighter typographic footprint is desirable.
The outline-only construction gives the type a light, airy presence with a contemporary, slightly technical character. Its clean geometry reads as modern and orderly, while the hollow forms add a playful, display-oriented edge that feels well suited to bold, graphic layouts.
The design appears intended as a clean geometric outline companion to a standard sans, prioritizing strong silhouettes and even construction over dense text color. Its consistent contours and simplified shapes suggest a focus on versatile display use, layering, and graphic treatments such as overlays and knockouts.
At text sizes the inner whitespace dominates, so the design reads best when given enough scale or contrast against the background. The consistent contour weight and simple construction make it particularly effective when layered over imagery or used as a secondary, accent typestyle.
