A monoline geometric sans with extremely thin strokes and generous internal space. Curves are drawn as clean arcs with near-circular bowls (O, C, G), paired with straight, spare stems and simple diagonals (V, W, X). Corners read crisp where strokes meet, while rounded forms stay smooth and even, creating a consistent, engineered rhythm. Letterforms are notably extended with wide proportions and loose spacing, and the overall construction favors simple, uncluttered joins and open apertures.
Best suited to large-size display settings such as headlines, editorial titles, posters, and brand wordmarks where its thin strokes and wide stance can breathe. It can also work for refined packaging or interface moments (hero text, navigation, product names) when set at sufficient size with ample contrast and spacing.
The tone is refined and contemporary, with an airy, almost architectural lightness. Its thin-line geometry suggests a modern, tech-adjacent sensibility while remaining calm and understated rather than flashy.
The design appears intended to deliver a sleek, geometric voice built from simple line-and-curve primitives, emphasizing clarity, openness, and a premium, modern feel. Its proportions and delicate stroke weight aim to create a distinctive silhouette and a light, elegant texture in display typography.
Distinctive details include a single-storey lowercase a and g, a loop-tailed Q, and minimalist numerals with rounded forms (notably 0, 6, 8, 9) that echo the circular construction of the caps. The thin strokes and open counters prioritize delicacy and visual sophistication over robustness at very small sizes.
