A delicate monoline sans with soft, rounded construction and generous counters. Curves are smooth and nearly circular, while straight strokes stay clean and consistent, producing an even rhythm across lines of text. Terminals are mostly blunt and lightly rounded, and the overall proportions stay compact with relatively tall lowercase forms and open apertures that keep the texture light and readable.
Best suited to short-to-medium text where a light, refined presence is desired—interface labels, captions, and brand supporting typography. It also works well for posters and packaging that benefit from an understated, modern sans, especially at larger sizes where the thin strokes and open shapes can breathe.
The tone is calm and approachable, with a pared-back, contemporary feel. Its thin strokes and rounded geometry create an unobtrusive voice that reads as gentle and neat rather than assertive or technical.
The design appears aimed at a clean, contemporary everyday sans that emphasizes clarity through simple geometry and consistent stroke behavior, providing a soft-edged alternative to more rigid minimalist faces.
Figures follow the same spare, rounded logic as the letters, blending comfortably in running text. The lowercase includes simple, single-storey forms and minimal detailing, reinforcing a streamlined, modern character.
