A very thin, monoline sans with a geometric backbone and a clean, open rhythm. Strokes are consistently light with rounded joins and terminals, and many forms lean on near-circular bowls (O, o, 8) and smooth arcs. Uppercase proportions feel spacious and slightly extended, while the lowercase maintains a clear, straightforward construction with generous apertures and simplified detailing. Numerals follow the same delicate, continuous-line logic, with flowing curves and minimal modulation.
Best suited to display applications such as headlines, brand wordmarks, posters, and editorial titling where its thin strokes and geometric clarity can remain intact. It also works well for packaging and refined UI/marketing moments when set with ample tracking and generous line spacing.
The overall tone is quiet and elegant, projecting a contemporary, gallery-like restraint. Its lightness and ample whitespace create an airy, premium feel that reads as sophisticated rather than utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver a minimalist, contemporary sans voice with an emphasis on geometric purity and a light, polished presence for modern visual systems.
Curves remain smooth and continuous, and diagonals are crisp without sharp, aggressive corners. The font’s delicate stroke weight and open interiors emphasize clarity at display sizes, while the long, clean horizontals and verticals create a calm, measured texture in text.
