A delicate sans with hairline strokes and pronounced contrast between vertical stems and curved joins. Forms lean toward rounded-rectangular geometry: bowls and counters are smooth and slightly squarish, with clean, open apertures and minimal terminal treatment. Capitals are tall and spare, with long verticals and restrained curves; round letters stay controlled rather than purely circular. Lowercase keeps a compact x-height with long ascenders and descenders, contributing to a refined rhythm and a noticeably light texture in running text.
Best suited to large sizes where its fine strokes and sleek geometry can be appreciated—headlines, fashion/editorial layouts, brand wordmarks, posters, and premium packaging. In smaller text, it will benefit from generous size and spacing to preserve clarity and avoid the hairline details fading.
The overall tone is poised and contemporary, with a boutique, fashion-forward elegance. Its thin strokes and controlled geometry read as precise and curated, giving a premium, editorial feel while staying understated rather than playful.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern geometric sans with a refined, high-fashion sensibility—pairing rounded-rectangular construction with an ultra-light stroke to create a distinctive, upscale typographic voice.
Round characters like O/Q and 0 show a consistent superelliptical roundness, while joins in letters such as a, g, and s remain smooth and uncluttered. Numerals follow the same lightweight, high-finesse construction, with clear differentiation and a crisp, minimal presence.
