A tall, condensed sans with extremely thin, monoline strokes and a disciplined geometric construction. Curves resolve into rounded-rectangle (superellipse-like) bowls and terminals, giving O/C/D/Q and many lowercase forms a soft, capsule-shaped silhouette. Counters are narrow and vertical, joins are crisp, and diagonals stay straight and taut, producing a clean, high-contrast rhythm driven more by proportion than by stroke modulation. Overall spacing reads open for such a narrow design, helping the letterforms remain distinct in text.
Best suited to display settings where its delicate strokes and narrow width can add sophistication—headlines, posters, brand wordmarks, packaging, and editorial pull quotes. It can work for short text runs at comfortable sizes, especially when ample tracking and clean printing or high-resolution rendering are available.
The tone is sleek and restrained, with a light, fashion-forward elegance. Its tall proportions and rounded geometry evoke a subtle retro signage feel while still reading contemporary and minimalist. The result is calm, precise, and slightly stylized rather than neutral.
The design appears intended to deliver an ultra-slim, space-efficient voice with a distinctive rounded-rectangle geometry—prioritizing elegance, verticality, and a consistent monoline texture for modern branding and high-impact titling.
Round forms consistently favor elongated, rounded-rectangle bowls, while straight-sided letters keep parallel verticals for a unified, architectural texture. The numerals follow the same narrow, linear logic and feel integrated with the uppercase and lowercase rather than appearing as a separate system.
