A tall, condensed sans with extremely thin monoline strokes and generous interior space. Forms are built from rounded-rectangle geometry: verticals are straight and consistent, corners are softly radiused, and bowls tend toward superelliptical shapes rather than circles. Terminals are clean and understated, producing a crisp, linear rhythm; diagonals are slender and slightly more delicate in presence, while counters remain open and uncluttered. Overall spacing feels measured and calm, with a strong vertical emphasis and a refined, almost skeletal construction.
Best suited to display typography where its hairline strokes and condensed width can shine—headlines, poster titling, branding/wordmarks, and upscale packaging. It can also work for editorial pull quotes or short blocks of text when set with ample size and breathing room.
The typeface reads as minimalist and sophisticated, with a quiet, gallery-like restraint. Its narrow proportions and hairline strokes create an airy, contemporary tone that can feel luxurious or architectural, leaning more toward elegance than friendliness.
The design appears intended to deliver a sleek, space-efficient voice with a refined geometric character. By combining rounded-rectangle construction with extreme stroke lightness and verticality, it aims for a distinctive contemporary look that stays clean and unobtrusive.
Round characters maintain a squared-off softness that keeps the texture uniform across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals. The sample text shows a consistent, even color at display sizes, with distinctive tall ascenders/descenders that amplify the vertical cadence.
