A monoline, geometric sans with extremely slender strokes and wide letterforms. Curves are drawn as clean, circular arcs with generous counters, while straight segments stay crisp and linear, producing a precise, diagram-like rhythm. Terminals are mostly blunt and unadorned; several letters use simplified constructions (e.g., single-stroke joins and open, high-aperture shapes) that keep the texture light and spacious. Numerals follow the same wireframe logic, with rounded bowls in 0/8/9 and angular, minimally constructed forms in 1/4/7.
Best suited to display settings where its fine strokes and wide proportions can be appreciated—headlines, logotypes, editorial titles, and premium packaging. It can also work for short UI labels or navigation in high-resolution contexts, but longer passages and small sizes will benefit from careful contrast and sufficient size to preserve stroke visibility.
The font reads as calm, restrained, and contemporary, with a subtle sci‑fi/tech inflection due to its ultra-thin strokes and geometric drafting feel. Its openness and wide stance convey clarity and sophistication rather than warmth or nostalgia.
The design appears intended to deliver a sleek, modern sans that prioritizes lightness, geometry, and clarity. It aims for a refined, high-tech aesthetic with simplified letter construction and consistent monoline drawing, optimized for clean, spacious typographic compositions.
In running text the very thin strokes and open forms create a delicate color and a strong sense of whitespace; spacing appears generous, further emphasizing the airy texture. The design language stays consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, with rounded forms balancing the sharper diagonal letters.
