A delicate geometric sans with hairline, even strokes and a clean, round construction. Curves lean toward near-circular bowls (C, O, Q, 0, 8), while straight-sided letters keep a tidy, pared-back feel. Terminals are mostly plain and unbracketed, with smooth joins and little contrast, creating a consistent, refined rhythm. Counters stay open and uncluttered, and the overall set reads as compact and disciplined, with numerals and lowercase echoing the same light, circular logic.
Best suited to display use where its hairline strokes can stay crisp: headlines, logotypes, packaging, posters, and refined editorial titling. It can also work for short UI labels or captions when set large enough and with comfortable spacing, but it is most convincing in spacious layouts that let the light geometry breathe.
The tone is quiet, modern, and design-forward—more sophisticated than casual. Its thin linework and generous internal space feel airy and precise, lending a subtle, boutique elegance rather than a loud or utilitarian voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a refined geometric look with minimal structural fuss—prioritizing clarity, smooth circular forms, and an elevated, contemporary feel. It aims for a cohesive, stylish texture that reads as modern and carefully drawn rather than expressive or handwritten.
Several forms emphasize circularity and symmetry, giving the alphabet a cohesive geometric signature. The light stroke and compact proportions make the texture appear calm and understated, while rounded bowls and smooth curves keep it friendly rather than stark.
