This typeface is built from extremely slender, monoline strokes and tall, condensed proportions. Curves are based on soft superellipse-like shapes, giving rounded rectangles in letters such as C, D, O, and Q and a consistently gentle cornering throughout. The design keeps terminals clean and unembellished, with compact bowls and restrained joins; diagonals (V, W, X, Y) are crisp and taut, while verticals dominate the texture. Numerals follow the same narrow, linear construction, with simple counters and a uniform stroke that maintains a light, continuous rhythm.
Ideal for display typography where a sleek, understated voice is needed—such as magazine headlines, fashion or beauty branding, boutique packaging, and poster titles. It can also work for short editorial subheads or captions when set large with comfortable spacing.
The overall tone is quiet and poised, reading as modern and minimalist with a slightly art-deco, fashion-forward flavor due to its tall, elegant stance. Its thin strokes and generous internal spacing create an airy, delicate impression that feels refined rather than assertive.
The design appears intended to deliver a sophisticated condensed sans with a superellipse-driven geometry, prioritizing a clean silhouette and a graceful vertical rhythm. Its restrained forms and consistent monoline construction suggest a focus on contemporary display use rather than dense text setting.
Because the strokes are so fine and the letters are tightly condensed, the font’s texture can become fragile at small sizes or in low-contrast reproduction. It performs best when given ample tracking and line spacing, where its vertical rhythm and rounded geometry are most apparent.
