A delicate monoline sans with smooth, circular curves and open counters. Strokes maintain an even thickness across curves and straights, producing a clean, airy texture with generous internal space. Proportions lean broad and spacious, with rounded bowls and softly tapered joins kept to a minimum. The lowercase shows simple, single-storey forms and a straightforward, geometric construction; numerals follow the same thin, continuous line logic with rounded shapes and clear, uncluttered silhouettes.
Best suited to display sizes where the thin strokes and open forms can stay crisp: headlines, brand marks, packaging, and poster typography. It can also work for short editorial pull quotes or section titles where a light, spacious texture is desirable.
The overall tone is quiet and contemporary, conveying restraint and lightness rather than emphasis. Its fine linework and rounded geometry suggest a polished, design-forward voice suited to minimalist aesthetics.
The design appears intended to deliver a minimalist, geometric voice with a premium feel, prioritizing smooth round forms, visual clarity, and an uncluttered presence in display settings.
Curves appear carefully circular/elliptical, giving the typeface a consistent rhythm across O/C/G-style forms. Terminals are mostly clean and unembellished, and the spacing in sample text reads as intentionally open, reinforcing a sleek, modern presentation.
