A monoline sans with expansive proportions and generous spacing. Strokes are extremely thin and consistent, with rounded terminals and smooth circular bowls that give the design a clean, drawn-with-a-single-pen feel. Many letters rely on simple geometric construction—near-circular O/o, open C/c, and lightly squared-off curves—while diagonals in A, V, W, X, and Y stay crisp and straight. Curves are subtly flattened in places (notably in S and some numerals), creating a sleek, controlled rhythm that reads evenly across words at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, large-format posters, and brand wordmarks where its thin strokes and wide geometry can breathe. It can also work for UI display labels, packaging, and editorial pull quotes when set at comfortable sizes with sufficient contrast against the background.
The overall tone is airy and modern, leaning toward a futuristic and technical sensibility. Its delicate line and wide stance feel refined and understated rather than loud, suggesting precision, calm, and a minimalist aesthetic.
The design appears intended as a minimalist geometric sans for contemporary display typography, emphasizing spacious proportions, clean construction, and a refined hairline presence. It prioritizes a sleek, modern silhouette and consistent monoline rhythm over dense text economy.
The sample text shows a consistent baseline and even color despite the hairline weight, with open interior spaces that keep the forms legible at larger settings. Numerals follow the same streamlined geometry, pairing rounded shapes with long, thin horizontals for a cohesive set.
