A tall, condensed sans with monoline strokes and generous vertical proportions. Curves are drawn as softened, rounded-rectangle forms, giving bowls and counters a sleek, controlled geometry rather than purely circular shapes. Terminals are clean and unadorned, with smooth joins and consistent stroke behavior that keeps the texture even across lines. The lowercase shows simple, narrow constructions with single-storey forms where applicable, and numerals follow the same slim, elongated rhythm for a cohesive set.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and short-to-medium editorial settings where a slender, high-impact texture is desired. It also fits branding and packaging that benefit from a clean, upscale, contemporary voice, especially in layouts that can leverage its verticality and tight measure.
The overall tone is quiet and contemporary, with a fashion/editorial sense of restraint. Its narrow, elongated silhouettes feel poised and sophisticated, projecting a cool, minimalist character rather than friendliness or play.
The design appears intended to deliver a refined, space-efficient sans for modern display typography, pairing condensed proportions with softened geometric curves to achieve a sleek, premium look in contemporary layouts.
Spacing and sidebearings appear measured for a tight, vertical rhythm, producing a crisp columnar look in text. The design’s softened-rectilinear curves give it a subtly architectural feel, balancing warmth in the rounding with a distinctly streamlined structure.
