A monoline sans with a geometric backbone, built from clean circular bowls and straight, even strokes. Curves are smooth and generously rounded, while terminals read as crisp and unadorned. Proportions are compact with restrained ascenders and descenders, giving lowercase a small, tidy silhouette and a steady, slightly condensed rhythm in text. Forms stay simple and consistent: round letters (o, c, e) are near-circular, verticals are straight and uniform, and joins remain clean without visible modulation.
Works well for interface typography, headlines, and clean editorial layouts where a light, geometric texture is desired. It can suit branding systems that need a restrained, modern voice and performs best when given sufficient size and spacing to preserve its delicate stroke presence.
The overall tone is calm and contemporary, with an understated, design-forward neutrality. Its light presence and precise geometry feel airy and refined, leaning toward a modern, minimalist sensibility rather than expressive or friendly warmth.
Likely designed to provide a minimalist geometric sans for contemporary settings, prioritizing clarity, visual restraint, and a consistent circular construction across letters and numerals.
Distinctive details include a single-storey “a” with a simple bowl-and-stem construction, a circular “g” with a clean open feel, and a “Q” featuring a short diagonal tail. Numerals follow the same geometric logic, with rounded shapes and slender strokes that maintain a cohesive texture alongside the letters.
