A monoline sans with geometric construction and generously rounded bowls. Strokes are consistently thin with clean terminals, and the overall proportions feel horizontally expanded, giving letters a roomy, open presence. Circular forms (O, Q, o, e) read as near-perfect rounds, while straight-sided shapes (E, F, L, T, Z) stay crisp and uncluttered. Lowercase features tall ascenders and simple, single-storey forms (a, g) with smooth, continuous curves; numerals follow the same spare, rounded logic with even, delicate line work.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, logotypes, brand systems, and editorial titling where its thin strokes and wide proportions can breathe. It works well for modern packaging and poster typography, especially in larger sizes where the refined line weight and round geometry remain clear.
The font conveys a quiet, contemporary sophistication—light, calm, and carefully balanced. Its wide stance and minimal detailing give it a design-forward, gallery-like tone that feels elegant rather than expressive or playful.
Likely designed to offer a minimalist geometric voice with an emphasis on openness and elegant restraint. The wide letterforms and simplified constructions prioritize clean rhythm and a contemporary feel for design-led applications.
Spacing appears on the open side, reinforcing the airy texture in text. Joins and diagonals (K, V, W, X, Y) are sharp but not aggressive, and the round shapes maintain consistent curvature across sizes, supporting a cohesive, polished rhythm.
