A very light, monoline sans with a strongly geometric construction and generous inner counters. Curves are clean and nearly circular, while straight stems stay slender and consistent, creating an even, airy texture. Terminals are mostly cut square with occasional softened joins, and the overall rhythm is calm and spacious with wide apertures and minimal optical flare. Proportions lean toward elegant narrowness in many letters, with simple, uncluttered figures and punctuation.
Best suited to display and short-to-medium text settings where its thin strokes can breathe—editorial headlines, modern branding systems, poster typography, and premium packaging. It also works well for airy UI hero text or minimalist layouts when used at sizes large enough to preserve stroke visibility.
The font feels modern, quiet, and design-forward, with a delicate, gallery-like refinement. Its lightness and geometric restraint evoke a technical, architectural mood rather than a warm or handwritten one.
Likely designed to provide a minimalist geometric sans with an elegant, high-end feel—prioritizing clarity, consistency, and a refined silhouette for contemporary design applications.
Distinctive details include a single-storey lowercase “a,” a double-storey “g,” and a clear, circular “O/0” family that emphasizes purity of form. The “Q” uses a subtle diagonal tail, and diagonals (V/W/X/Y) stay sharp and straight, reinforcing the precise, constructed character.
