A monoline sans with extremely slender strokes and condensed proportions, built from rounded-rectangle geometry and soft corner radii. Vertical stems dominate, with smooth, continuous curves in bowls and arches and a generally closed, capsule-like feel in counters. Terminals are clean and understated, and the overall rhythm is even, with narrow apertures and compact sidebearings that keep text tightly aligned. Numerals and capitals echo the same tall, streamlined construction, maintaining consistent curvature and stroke behavior across the set.
Best suited to headlines, titling, and short blocks of text where its tall, streamlined letterforms can remain crisp and distinctive. It works well for posters, logotypes, packaging, and environmental or wayfinding applications that benefit from a refined, minimal aesthetic. For body copy, it will be most comfortable at larger sizes with generous spacing.
The font projects a quiet, modernist elegance—spare, precise, and intentionally restrained. Its elongated forms and rounded geometry add a subtle retro-futurist flavor, suggesting gallery signage, editorial minimalism, or boutique branding rather than utilitarian text work.
The design appears intended to deliver a sleek, contemporary sans voice with a geometric, rounded-rectangle foundation and a highly reductive stroke treatment. Its primary goal seems to be creating a memorable, elegant silhouette and a consistent, architectural rhythm for display typography.
At display sizes the thin strokes and narrow openings read as delicate and finely drawn; in longer lines the tight, vertical emphasis creates a strong columnar texture. Round letters lean toward superelliptic shapes, and several forms favor simplified construction over conventional grotesk detailing, reinforcing the font’s stylized, designed-for-impact character.
