A monoline sans with a distinctly geometric construction and generous, open counters. Curves are drawn with smooth, near-circular bowls (notably in O/C/G/Q and the numerals), paired with straight, clean terminals and simple joins. Proportions feel expanded and spacious, with ample sidebearings and a steady rhythm that keeps words light and uncluttered. Uppercase forms are built from basic geometry (triangular A, symmetrical V/W, straightforward E/F/T), while the lowercase uses single-storey a and g, reinforcing the simplified, contemporary voice.
Best suited to display typography where its light, spacious structure can breathe—such as headlines, brand marks, editorial titles, and packaging. It also works well for short UI labels or navigation in larger sizes where a crisp, minimal aesthetic is desired.
The overall tone is quiet and refined, projecting a modern, design-forward calm rather than a loud or expressive personality. Its thin strokes and generous whitespace create an airy, premium feel that reads as precise and understated.
The design appears intended to deliver a pared-back geometric sans that feels contemporary and polished, prioritizing clarity and visual lightness through simplified forms and consistent monoline strokes.
Round characters maintain consistent curvature and a clean baseline relationship, with minimal modulation at joins. The figures appear streamlined and legible, with simple, open shapes and restrained detailing that matches the letterforms.
