A very thin, monoline sans with a geometric construction and generous whitespace. Strokes maintain an even weight with rounded joins and soft terminals, while curves are drawn as clean arcs and near-circular bowls. The uppercase set mixes open, simplified forms (notably in C, G, and S) with straight-sided structure, producing a crisp, architectural rhythm. Lowercase shapes are similarly pared back, with single-storey a and g, tall ascenders, and narrow, uncluttered counters that keep the texture light and continuous.
Best suited to display sizes where its fine strokes and open geometry can be appreciated—headlines, logotypes, poster titling, and upscale packaging. In editorial or UI contexts it works well for short lines, section headers, and airy captions where a light, modern tone is desired.
The overall tone is quiet and contemporary, with a refined, gallery-like restraint. Its hairline presence feels elegant and slightly futuristic, prioritizing clarity and atmosphere over emphasis. The minimal detailing gives it a poised, design-forward character suited to understated branding.
The design appears intended to deliver a minimal, geometric sans with a delicate hairline voice, using simplified shapes and consistent stroke logic to create a clean, contemporary texture. Its open forms and restrained details suggest a focus on modern visual identity work and elegant, space-forward layouts.
Distinctive details include a very open C/S, a simple crossbar treatment on E/F/T, and a clean, circular zero with a minimal interior. Dots on i/j are small and round, and many curves terminate in subtly rounded ends that prevent the face from feeling sharp despite the thin strokes.
