A delicate, monoline sans with a clean geometric skeleton and softly rounded joins. Strokes remain consistently thin, with circular and elliptical bowls that keep counters open and evenly proportioned. The uppercase is spare and tall, while the lowercase stays straightforward with simple terminals and clear, uncluttered forms; the two-storey “g” and single-storey “a” reinforce a modern, utilitarian voice. Numerals are similarly restrained, with smooth curves and minimal detailing that keeps color light and consistent in text.
Best suited to large-size applications where its thin strokes can stay crisp: UI labels, navigation, product branding, short headlines, and minimalist editorial layouts. It can work for short paragraphs in print or high-resolution screens when generous size and leading are used.
The overall tone is quiet and modern, prioritizing clarity and restraint over personality-driven gestures. Its thin, open construction feels airy and refined, lending a precise, slightly technical impression without becoming harsh.
The design appears intended as a neutral, contemporary sans that emphasizes geometric regularity, open counters, and a refined, lightweight presence. It aims to deliver a modern, minimal voice that stays out of the way while still looking polished.
Round letters like O/C/Q read very smooth and even, and the set favors open shapes and minimal terminal treatment to preserve legibility at larger sizes. The light stroke weight creates a bright page color, so spacing and line breaks become visually prominent in paragraphs.
