A monoline, geometric sans with generous proportions and rounded construction. Curves are drawn as near-circular arcs with open apertures, while straight strokes stay crisp and unmodulated, giving the design a precise, wireframe feel. Uppercase forms are clean and simple, with a pointed A and symmetrical V/W, and rounded letters like C, G, O, and Q leaning toward near-perfect bowls. Lowercase maintains the same geometry with single-storey a and g, short-armed r, and minimal terminals; spacing reads even and deliberately roomy, emphasizing clarity over density.
Best suited to display sizes where its fine linear construction and generous spacing can stay crisp—such as headlines, logotypes, posters, and fashion or design-led editorial. It can also work for UI or product titling where a light, minimal presence is desired, though it will generally perform better above small text sizes.
The overall tone is modern and understated, projecting a quiet sophistication. Its light, open rhythm feels calm and architectural, with a slightly technical, systemized character that suits minimalist visual identities.
The design appears intended to deliver a sleek, contemporary sans with a geometric backbone and an intentionally delicate stroke, prioritizing elegance, openness, and a disciplined, modular feel for modern layout systems.
Distinctive details include the high, narrow crossbar on A, the long, clean tail on Q, and the smooth, continuous curves in numerals like 2, 3, 5, and 9 that echo the font’s circular logic. The punctuation and dot forms appear small and restrained, reinforcing the delicate, precision-led aesthetic.
