A delicate, geometric sans with a consistently thin, even stroke and generous interior space. Curves are drawn with smooth, near-circular bowls, while straight strokes stay crisp and vertical, creating a clean, precise rhythm. Terminals are mostly blunt and unadorned, and joins stay simple, giving the letterforms a lightweight, wireframe-like clarity. The overall proportions feel compact through the lowercase, with narrow apertures and controlled curves that keep words looking tidy and continuous in text.
Best suited to display sizes where its thin stroke and open geometry can stay crisp—such as editorial headlines, brand wordmarks, packaging, and poster typography. It can also work for short UI labels or navigational text where a light, clean voice is desired, especially with ample size and contrast.
The tone is understated and contemporary, leaning toward elegance rather than assertiveness. Its light touch and rounded construction give it a gentle, quiet presence that feels design-forward and carefully composed.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, geometric neutrality with a refined, lightweight texture. It prioritizes smooth circular forms and minimal detailing to create an elegant, contemporary sans for clean layouts and design-led applications.
Distinctive cues include a single-storey lowercase a, a simple single-storey g with an open tail, and a Q with a small diagonal tail. Numerals follow the same fine-line logic, with a notably circular 0 and a minimalist 1, maintaining a cohesive, airy texture across mixed content.
