A condensed, extremely slender sans with a consistently fine stroke and subtly modulated curves. The construction favors rounded-rectangle and superellipse-like bowls with squared-off terminals, producing a neat, architectural rhythm. Capitals are tall and narrow with generous vertical emphasis; round letters like O and Q are elongated and softly squared, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y) are crisp and taut. Lowercase forms are similarly upright and narrow with a high x-height feel, simple apertures, and compact counters; numerals are thin, linear, and aligned in the same vertical cadence.
Best suited to display and short-to-medium headline settings where its tall, condensed proportions can create height and elegance without heavy weight. It works well for magazine titling, luxury or beauty branding, posters, and packaging where a clean, refined voice is desired, and where ample size and leading can preserve clarity.
The overall tone is poised and understated, with a fashion-forward, editorial polish. Its narrow, delicate presence reads premium and controlled rather than expressive, lending a calm, contemporary sophistication.
Designed to deliver a sleek, space-efficient headline voice with an elevated, modern sensibility. The superellipse-driven curves and strict verticality suggest an intention to create a distinctive, high-end texture that stays minimal and controlled across letters and figures.
Spacing appears intentionally open for such a condensed design, helping prevent the very thin strokes from feeling cramped. The font’s visual identity comes from the superelliptical rounding and the disciplined, uniform stroke endings, which keep the texture even in longer lines of text.
