A monoline sans with strongly condensed proportions and a notably tall lowercase, producing an elongated, vertical texture on the line. Strokes are consistently thin with low modulation, and terminals are clean and largely straight, giving the forms a crisp, pared-back finish. Curves (notably in C, O, Q, and e) read as gently rounded, while many letters rely on narrow counters and simple, economical construction. The numerals follow the same lean, linear logic, with open shapes and restrained detailing that keep the color light and even.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, magazine titling, posters, and brand wordmarks where its condensed stance can save space and add a sleek vertical emphasis. It also works well for packaging and labels that benefit from a light, refined presence and a clean, modern tone.
The overall tone is quiet and contemporary—cool, minimal, and slightly formal. Its narrow rhythm and delicate stroke weight feel editorial and design-forward, conveying precision rather than warmth or exuberance.
The design appears aimed at a contemporary, space-efficient sans that prioritizes elegance and clarity through simplified geometry, thin monoline strokes, and tall proportions. It’s built to deliver a distinctive, airy texture at larger sizes while maintaining a consistent, disciplined rhythm across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Because of the slim strokes and compressed widths, the font creates a high-contrast-in-space texture: lots of white area around very fine black strokes. Round letters stay smooth and controlled, while diagonals (A, V, W, X, Y) remain sharp and structural, reinforcing the font’s tall, architectural character.
