A slender, monoline sans with softly rounded geometry and a distinctly extended silhouette. Curves are drawn as clean arcs and near-elliptical bowls, paired with straight stems that end in crisp, unbracketed terminals. The rhythm is even and measured, with generous internal space in letters like O, e, and a, and a consistently light stroke that keeps text feeling open. Uppercase forms stay simple and architectural, while lowercase maintains clear, single-storey shapes where applicable and a smooth, continuous flow across words.
Best suited to display sizes where its thin strokes and wide proportions can stay crisp and elegant—such as headlines, logotypes, brand systems, and poster typography. It can also work for short UI labels or packaging text when adequate size and contrast are available, benefiting from its open counters and clean, modern construction.
The overall tone is calm, airy, and contemporary, with a slightly futuristic polish. Its thin strokes and spacious forms read as refined and technical rather than expressive or rustic, giving a sense of precision and lightness.
The design appears intended to deliver a minimal, geometric sans voice with a light, spacious texture and a distinctly contemporary presence. Its emphasis on smooth curves, even stroke logic, and extended proportions suggests a focus on elegant display typography that feels modern and precise.
Round characters (O, Q, 0, 8, 9) emphasize symmetrical, oval construction, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y) appear sharp and clean against the otherwise soft curves. Numerals match the letterforms in lightness and openness, producing a cohesive, understated texture in mixed alphanumeric settings.
