A slim, single-stroke sans with tall proportions and softly rounded terminals. Many forms are constructed from straight stems and broad-radius curves, producing a clean, geometric rhythm with generous interior whitespace. Several glyphs show deliberate interruptions or separated strokes (notably in capitals like B, D, P and in figures), giving a subtle stencil/inline effect without adding true contrast. The lowercase is simple and legible with compact bowls and open apertures, while overall spacing reads airy and economical.
Best suited to headlines, posters, branding, and signage where its tall, refined shapes and decorative construction can read clearly. It can work for short UI labels or captions when set with comfortable size and spacing, but its defining stroke breaks and thin structure are most effective in display settings.
The design evokes a refined retro-modern tone—part Art Deco, part mid-century sign lettering—balancing elegance with a slightly technical, constructed feel. Its restrained line work and occasional stroke breaks add a distinctive, curated personality rather than a purely neutral voice.
The letterforms appear intended to deliver a distinctive, modernist display sans that nods to classic Deco signage while staying minimal and contemporary. The controlled geometry, rounded ends, and selective stroke separations suggest a design aimed at memorable titles and brand marks rather than long-form text.
Capitals are especially display-oriented, with simplified geometry and occasional separated elements that become more apparent at larger sizes. Figures follow the same rounded, minimal construction, and punctuation/diacritics (as seen in the sample) keep to the same thin, understated presence.
