A delicate, high-contrast sans with hairline strokes and smooth, rounded construction. Forms are built from clean arcs and long, straight stems, with a crisp, precise finish and no visible terminals or flaring. Uppercase letters feel tall and open, while the lowercase shows classic, bookish proportions with a single-storey “g” and a looped “j,” creating a subtle rhythmic variety. Numerals are similarly slender, with generous interior counters and a distinctly thin, linear presence in text.
Best suited to large sizes where the hairline strokes can remain crisp: magazine titles, luxury branding, editorial headlines, invitations, and high-end packaging. It can work for short text passages in controlled print or high-resolution digital settings, but will be less forgiving in small sizes or low-contrast environments due to its very fine strokes.
The overall tone is quiet and sophisticated, with an airy, fashion-forward refinement. Its extreme lightness and contrast read as premium and editorial, suggesting careful curation rather than utilitarian neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a minimalist, high-fashion sans look by pairing geometric roundness with extreme stroke contrast and restrained detailing. It aims for elegance and visual lightness, prioritizing sophistication and whitespace over robustness.
Round letters like O/C/G maintain a consistent, near-circular geometry, while diagonals (V/W/X/Y) appear especially sharp and linear, emphasizing the contrast between straight and curved elements. The thin horizontals in E/F/T and the delicate joins in lowercase add to the brittle, glasslike feel, making spacing and line length important for comfortable reading.
