A monoline geometric sans with generous horizontal proportions and rounded, elliptical bowls. Strokes are extremely thin and even, with clean joins and simple terminals that stay neutral rather than calligraphic. Curves are drawn with a consistent radius language, while diagonals (A, V, W, X, Y) are crisp and straight, creating a balanced mix of soft and sharp geometry. The lowercase shows a large x-height and compact ascenders/descenders, with single-storey a and g and open, simplified forms that keep counters clear. Numerals follow the same elliptical construction, with smooth, continuous curves and a light, schematic presence.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, brand marks, tech-forward packaging, posters, and interface titles where its fine monoline structure can remain crisp. It also works for short editorial callouts or captions when set with comfortable size and tracking to preserve its airy texture.
The overall tone is sleek and futuristic, projecting a refined, high-tech minimalism. Its thin, airy lines feel precise and engineered, giving text a calm, contemporary sophistication rather than a warm or expressive personality.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary geometric voice with an emphasis on clarity, openness, and a lightweight, architectural feel. Its simplified lowercase and elliptical construction suggest a focus on modern display typography that reads as precise and future-leaning.
In the sample text, spacing reads even and measured, and the wide forms create a relaxed rhythm across lines. The extremely light strokes emphasize outline-like clarity, so the design’s geometry becomes the primary visual feature at larger sizes.
