A slender, monoline sans with tall proportions and softly rounded terminals. Curves are smooth and ovalized, while straight strokes stay clean and consistent, creating a light, threadlike texture. Counters are generally open and simple, and the overall spacing feels generous, emphasizing a calm vertical rhythm. Numerals follow the same narrow, drawn-line construction with rounded forms and a unified stroke weight.
Best suited to headlines, short statements, and identity work where a light, elegant tone is desired. It can work well on posters, packaging, and invitations, especially when paired with ample whitespace. For longer passages, it benefits from larger sizes and comfortable line spacing to preserve clarity.
The typeface reads as light, gentle, and slightly playful, with a refined hand-drawn elegance despite its geometric simplicity. Its thin strokes and rounded endings give it a quiet, airy presence that feels modern yet faintly mid‑century in spirit.
The design appears intended to deliver a sleek, minimal display voice—prioritizing a graceful vertical rhythm, soft terminals, and a delicate stroke presence for modern, stylish typography.
In running text the tall ascenders and descenders become a defining feature, giving lines a graceful, elongated silhouette. The narrow set and fine weight make it visually distinctive at display sizes, while the minimal construction keeps letterforms unobtrusive and clean.
