A thin, monoline sans with tall, slender proportions and generous interior space. Strokes maintain an even weight with smooth, rounded turns and softly squared terminals that keep the drawing crisp rather than calligraphic. Curves are built from simple circular and elliptical geometry, while straight stems stay clean and vertical, producing an orderly rhythm. The lowercase is notably small relative to the uppercase, giving the alphabet a tall, ascender-forward silhouette and emphasizing verticality in text.
Best suited to display typography such as headlines, wordmarks, posters, and packaging where a delicate, high-end feel is desired. It can work for short editorial callouts or captions when set large enough, especially in clean layouts that can accommodate its fine strokes and tall proportions.
The overall tone is quiet and refined, with a light, airy presence that reads as contemporary and understated. Its narrow, spacious forms feel architectural and poised, leaning more toward elegance than friendliness.
Likely drawn to deliver a sleek, minimalist sans with an emphasis on vertical elegance and geometric simplicity. The very small lowercase relative to capitals suggests a design aimed at distinctive display texture and refined brand-led typography rather than dense body copy.
The design relies on open apertures and clear counters, which helps maintain clarity despite the extremely thin strokes. Numerals follow the same simple geometric logic, with rounded forms and minimal detailing that keeps the set consistent in display settings.
