A monoline sans with condensed proportions and a distinctly vertical stance. Curves are drawn with rounded-rectangle softness, giving bowls and counters a superelliptical feel, while joints and terminals stay clean and understated. Round letters such as O, Q, and 0 read as tall ovals with smooth, even curvature; straight-sided forms (E, F, L, T) maintain consistent stem thickness and crisp right angles. Spacing appears open for the width, producing an even, measured rhythm in text.
Best suited to display roles where a slim, modern voice is desired—headlines, posters, logotypes, and brand systems that benefit from a clean, space-saving texture. It can also work for UI labels, wayfinding, and packaging callouts where a refined condensed sans helps fit more characters without feeling dense.
The overall tone is refined and contemporary, with a quiet, design-forward presence. Its slim strokes and rounded geometry feel calm and technical rather than expressive, suggesting a sleek, minimalist mood. The narrow build adds a stylish, editorial flavor without becoming harsh.
The design appears intended to deliver a sleek condensed sans optimized for modern layouts, combining strict monoline structure with softened superelliptical curves. It prioritizes a consistent vertical rhythm and a minimalist finish for contemporary editorial and branding applications.
Distinctive details include a single-story “a” with a straight terminal, a looped descender on “g,” and tall, simple figures that match the font’s upright, streamlined construction. The lowercase and numerals share a consistent vertical emphasis, helping mixed-content settings look cohesive.
