A very thin, single‑stroke sans with narrow proportions and generous internal space. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle/superellipse geometry: bowls stay open and softly squared, while corners are subtly radiused rather than perfectly circular. Stems and horizontals keep a consistent, hairline weight with no visible contrast, producing a delicate, high-clarity texture. The lowercase is simple and restrained, with single-storey forms (notably a and g) and compact terminals; figures follow the same light, rounded construction.
Best suited to large sizes where the hairline strokes can breathe—headlines, logotypes, posters, and minimalist editorial typography. It can also work for short UI labels or navigation in high-contrast interfaces, but is less appropriate for dense body text or low-contrast settings.
The overall tone is calm and understated, with a precise, contemporary feel. Its hairline strokes and measured geometry read as elegant and slightly clinical, leaning toward a refined, design-forward minimalism.
The design appears intended to deliver a lightweight, space-efficient sans that feels modern and carefully engineered, pairing strict monoline construction with softened superellipse curves for a gentle but precise signature.
Because of the extremely light stroke and narrow set, the font’s presence depends heavily on scale, contrast, and printing/screen conditions. The rounded-rectangular curves give it a distinctive “soft tech” character that stays consistent across letters and numerals.
