A monoline sans with a geometric backbone and generous horizontal proportions. Strokes are consistently thin with soft, rounded terminals, and curves resolve smoothly into straight segments without noticeable modulation. Counters are large and open, with circular and oval forms (notably in O/0 and bowls) that feel engineered and even. The lowercase shows a tall, spacious structure with single-storey forms and simple joins, while diagonals and vertices (A, V, W, Y) are sharp yet restrained by the overall light stroke. Numerals follow the same open, rounded construction and maintain an even rhythm alongside the letters.
Works best in display contexts where its light stroke and wide proportions can breathe—headlines, wordmarks, posters, and clean editorial typography. It can also suit interface and product typography in larger sizes where its open counters and simple shapes remain clear.
The overall tone is contemporary and understated, with a cool, technical clarity. Its thin, spacious construction reads as refined and architectural, suggesting a sleek, forward-looking character without becoming decorative.
The design appears aimed at delivering a streamlined geometric sans for modern visual systems, emphasizing openness, smooth curvature, and a spacious rhythm for a contemporary, premium feel.
Spacing appears intentionally generous, contributing to a calm, uncluttered texture in continuous text. The round forms and minimal detailing keep the design cohesive across caps, lowercase, and numerals, while the wide proportions lend a distinctive, panoramic silhouette in headlines.
