A delicate monoline sans with a strongly geometric skeleton and generous internal space. Strokes are consistently thin with smooth circular bowls and crisp, straight terminals, creating a clean, linear rhythm. Uppercase forms are built from simple proportions—round O/C/G and straightforward E/F/T—while diagonals (A, V, W, X, Y) stay sharp and evenly weighted. The lowercase keeps a simple, modern construction with single-storey a and g, compact shoulders, and restrained joins, maintaining a light, uncluttered texture. Numerals follow the same spare geometry, with open, airy counters and minimal detailing.
Best suited to headlines, titling, and brand applications where a light, refined line can be printed or rendered cleanly at larger sizes. It also works well for minimalist editorial layouts, lookbooks, and interface moments that prioritize elegance and whitespace over dense text color.
The overall tone is quiet and contemporary, emphasizing precision and restraint rather than personality or warmth. Its thin, open drawing reads as elegant and architectural, lending a polished, high-end feel. The simplicity and consistent geometry give it a calm, understated presence that suits minimal layouts.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, geometric sans that feels refined and unobtrusive, offering a crisp visual voice for contemporary branding and clean typographic systems. Its simplified forms and consistent monoline drawing suggest an emphasis on clarity, cohesion, and a sleek display presence.
Round letters appear close to circular, giving the face a coherent geometric backbone, while straight-sided letters (E, F, H, I, L, T) reinforce a structured grid-like feel. The g’s looped construction and the very simple t add subtle distinction without breaking the minimalist system.
