A hairline, geometric sans with consistent monoline strokes and smooth circular construction in bowls and counters. Letterforms rely on simple arcs and straight segments, with generous internal space and frequent use of near-perfect circles (notably in O/Q and rounded lowercase). Terminals are clean and unembellished, while joins stay crisp, giving a precise, lightly engineered rhythm. Proportions feel tall and slender overall, with compact lowercase and a calm, even baseline presence.
Best suited to display settings where its hairline strokes and airy spacing can be appreciated—such as headlines, logotypes, packaging, editorial titling, and large-format graphics. It can also work for short UI labels or navigation in spacious layouts, but it is visually optimized for larger sizes and clean, high-contrast reproduction.
The tone is quiet and refined, projecting a minimal, contemporary elegance. Its thin, open structure reads as light and sophisticated, with a subtle, design-forward character suited to understated branding.
Likely designed to provide a clean geometric voice with an ultra-light presence, prioritizing circular harmony, simplicity, and a polished modern feel. The consistent stroke logic and open counters suggest an intention toward elegant branding and contemporary display typography.
Distinctive details include a circular Q with a small interior tail, a simple single-storey a, and numerals that echo the same circular/linear logic (notably 0, 8, and 9). The overall impression remains cohesive across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, emphasizing clarity through restraint rather than contrast or ornament.
