A monoline sans with extremely thin strokes and generous lateral proportions, giving letters a spacious, elongated silhouette. Forms lean toward geometric construction with clean circular/elliptical bowls and long, straight terminals; curves connect smoothly with minimal modulation. Spacing reads open and even, with simple joins and a consistent, restrained rhythm across capitals, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to large-size applications where its thin stroke and open shapes can breathe—headlines, brand wordmarks, magazine display typography, and poster titling. It can work for short interface labels or packaging accents when set with ample size and contrast against the background.
The overall tone is quiet and refined, leaning toward contemporary, design-forward minimalism. Its light presence feels airy and precise, projecting a calm, high-end sensibility with a subtle tech/editorial edge.
The design appears intended to deliver a refined, contemporary display sans built around geometric roundness and a very delicate line, prioritizing elegance, clarity, and a light visual footprint in modern layouts.
Round characters (like O/C/G and lowercase bowls) are notably clean and symmetrical, while straight-sided letters keep crisp orthogonal edges. The numerals echo the same linear delicacy and rounded geometry, maintaining a cohesive texture in continuous text.
