A spare monoline sans with crisp, continuous strokes and gently rounded curves. The design balances circular bowls with straight-sided verticals, creating a clean geometric rhythm that stays consistent across capitals, lowercase, and numerals. Terminals are mostly blunt and uncluttered, counters are open, and overall spacing feels generous, helping the thin outlines remain legible at larger sizes.
Best suited to display settings where its thin, clean strokes can breathe—brand wordmarks, editorial headlines, packaging, and large-format poster typography. It can also work for short UI labels or navigation at comfortable sizes where fine strokes won’t be lost.
The tone is understated and contemporary, with an elegant, almost architectural lightness. Its simplicity reads calm and precise rather than expressive, making it feel premium and unobtrusive in layouts that need subtle typography.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver a neutral, modern voice with strong geometric clarity and minimal stylistic interference. The emphasis is on clean outlines, open counters, and a refined silhouette that supports contemporary branding and editorial presentation.
Capitals lean toward simple, archetypal constructions, while the lowercase introduces a slightly more human cadence through varied curves and open forms. Numerals follow the same restrained logic, keeping stroke behavior consistent and avoiding decorative detailing.
