A monoline sans with very thin strokes and generous internal space. Letterforms lean on clean geometry—circles and soft arcs paired with straight, lightly tapered joins—creating a crisp, quiet rhythm. Curves are broadly drawn and open, with rounded bowls and smooth terminals, while diagonals (V, W, Y, K) stay sharp and linear. Lowercase forms show a simple, modern construction with a tall, prominent x-height and restrained detailing, keeping counters open and shapes highly legible at display sizes.
Best suited for branding, titles, and editorial headlines where its light, open construction can breathe. It can work well in interface or product contexts when used at larger sizes for navigation, hero text, or labeling, and in packaging or poster design where a minimal, contemporary voice is desired.
The overall tone is cool, minimal, and modern, with a delicate, airy presence. Its thin line and spacious forms feel refined and slightly futuristic, suggesting precision and calm rather than warmth or expressiveness.
The font appears designed to deliver a sleek, modern sans voice with emphasis on clarity through open geometry and a delicate, high-end line. Its construction prioritizes visual lightness and contemporary polish for display-led typography.
The design relies on consistent stroke weight and smooth curvature, giving it a clean, engineered finish. Numerals follow the same light, rounded logic and read as streamlined and unobtrusive alongside the letters.
