A monoline sans with generous width and a clean, geometric construction. Strokes are extremely thin and consistent, with rounded bowls and smooth, continuous curves that favor circles and ellipses. Terminals are crisp and mostly horizontal/vertical, giving a neat, engineered finish. Letterforms maintain open counters and ample interior space; diagonals (A, V, W, X, Y) are sharp but restrained, while curved letters (C, G, O, Q, S) stay calm and even. Numerals follow the same delicate, rounded logic, with simple, legible silhouettes.
Best suited to display settings where thin strokes and wide proportions can breathe—headlines, posters, brand wordmarks, and editorial titling. It can also work for short UI labels or packaging callouts when set at sufficient size and with careful contrast against the background.
The overall tone is quiet and refined—lightweight, spacious, and contemporary. Its geometric softness reads as modern and slightly futuristic, with an understated elegance suited to premium, minimal visual systems.
The design appears intended to deliver a minimalist, geometric sans that feels sleek and contemporary while remaining readable through open forms and consistent stroke logic. It prioritizes visual lightness and refined rhythm for modern branding and display typography.
Spacing appears intentionally generous, enhancing the font’s airy rhythm in lines of text. Distinctive moments include a smooth, rounded ‘S’, a clean circular ‘O’, and a ‘Q’ that adds a subtle diagonal tail—details that keep the style coherent without adding ornament.
