A very delicate sans with hairline strokes and crisp, clean terminals. The construction leans on simple circular and elliptical curves paired with straight stems, producing open counters and generous apertures that keep the texture light. Curves are smooth and evenly drawn, while diagonals (A, V, W, X) stay sharp and precise, giving the alphabet a tidy, engineered rhythm. Numerals follow the same thin, high-clarity approach, with simple outlines and minimal joins that read best at larger sizes.
Best suited to large-size settings where its hairline strokes and open shapes can stay intact—headlines, posters, fashion or beauty branding, and editorial display typography. It also works well for refined UI moments such as hero text or section titles when rendered at sufficiently large sizes and with strong contrast.
The overall tone is quiet and polished—more gallery label than billboard. Its extreme lightness and orderly geometry suggest sophistication, restraint, and a contemporary editorial sensibility.
Likely designed to deliver a minimalist, high-end look through extremely light strokes and simple geometric construction. The intent appears to be graceful display typography with a modern, premium feel rather than rugged everyday text setting.
In the paragraph sample, spacing and counters create a bright, breathable color on the page, but the hairline weight makes fine details feel fragile at small sizes or on low-contrast backgrounds. The mix of round forms and straight strokes keeps it neutral while still feeling distinctive through its pronounced thinness and clean, unfussy shapes.
