A very slender monoline sans with soft, rounded terminals and generously open curves. The forms lean on clean circular bowls and smooth joins, giving the alphabet an even, gentle rhythm. Proportions are slightly narrow and tidy, with simple, uncluttered shapes that keep counters open and spacing feeling relaxed.
Well suited to UI labels, captions, and editorial subheads where a light, clean tone is desired. It also works for branding systems, packaging, and lifestyle applications that benefit from a refined but approachable sans. In longer text, it reads best at comfortable sizes and with adequate contrast against the background due to its delicate strokes.
The overall tone is airy and friendly, with a calm, unobtrusive presence. Its light touch and rounded construction feel approachable and contemporary rather than formal or authoritative.
The design appears intended to provide a simple, modern sans voice that stays out of the way while remaining personable. By using consistent stroke weight and rounded geometry, it aims for visual calm and a smooth reading texture in short to medium passages.
Round letters like O and C are notably circular and open, while diagonals (A, V, W, X) stay crisp without becoming sharp. Numerals follow the same light, rounded logic, with simple silhouettes that match the alphabet’s understated character.
