A monoline, geometric sans with extremely thin strokes and softly rounded curves. The design favors near-circular bowls and open apertures, paired with long verticals and a clean, consistent stroke rhythm. Uppercase forms are simplified and spacious (with pointed diagonals and restrained joins), while the lowercase maintains a smooth, linear flow with compact terminals and a single-storey “a.” Numerals follow the same light, rounded construction, keeping counters large and shapes uncluttered.
Best suited for display contexts where delicacy is an advantage: fashion and beauty branding, modern editorial headlines, posters, packaging, and minimalist UI moments such as section titles or navigation. It performs especially well when paired with ample tracking and generous leading, letting the fine strokes and large counters remain crisp.
The overall tone is quiet and contemporary, with an elegant, almost ethereal presence driven by the hairline weight and generous white space. Its geometric calm reads as sleek and design-forward rather than expressive or tactile, giving compositions a refined, gallery-like neutrality.
The font appears designed to deliver a clean geometric voice with maximum lightness, emphasizing elegance through reduction and consistent circular construction. It aims for a contemporary, premium feel that stays neutral and controlled, functioning as a modern display sans for sophisticated layouts.
Because the strokes are so thin, the font’s clarity depends heavily on sufficient size, contrast, and breathing room. Round characters stay very true to circular geometry, producing a consistent, polished texture in headlines and short lines of text, while dense settings can begin to feel faint.
