A monoline sans with extremely fine strokes and a geometric construction. Curves are smooth and near-circular (notably in C, G, O, Q), paired with straight, crisp verticals and diagonals. Terminals are clean and unembellished, with a generally even rhythm and generous internal counters that keep forms open. Uppercase shapes feel tall and streamlined, while the lowercase maintains a neat, modern skeleton with simple one-storey forms (a, g) and a light, unobtrusive dot on i/j. Numerals follow the same thin, rounded logic, with a single-storey 1 and softly curved 2/3/5/6/9.
Best suited to headlines, logotypes, and short editorial settings where its thin strokes and geometric curves can read clearly. It also works well for minimalist branding, fashion/beauty packaging, and poster typography, especially at medium-to-large sizes on high-contrast backgrounds.
The overall tone is quiet and polished, with a gallery-like restraint. Its thin, precise lines and round geometry convey a modern, design-forward sensibility that feels calm, delicate, and premium.
The design appears intended to deliver a minimal, contemporary sans with a strong geometric backbone and a light, refined presence. It emphasizes clarity and elegance through consistent monoline strokes, open counters, and simplified letterforms.
The font’s fine weight and open apertures create a bright page color in text, while the geometric circular forms add a subtle display character. The consistent stroke treatment and simple joins keep the texture smooth, especially in larger sizes.
