A condensed monoline sans with tall proportions, rounded corners, and a soft superelliptical geometry throughout. Strokes stay even and clean, with gentle, rounded terminals and minimal modulation, giving letters a tidy, drawn-with-a-tube feel. Counters are narrow and vertical, and many forms rely on straight stems paired with rounded bowls or caps; lowercase has notably long ascenders/descenders relative to the small body, creating a distinctive vertical rhythm. Spacing appears measured but airy, helping the thin, elongated forms remain readable in short lines and display settings.
Best suited for headlines, posters, brand marks, packaging, and signage where a tall, stylish condensed voice is desired. It can work for short editorial titles and pull quotes, but the compact lowercase body and long extenders suggest using generous line spacing and avoiding dense paragraphs.
The overall tone feels Art Deco–leaning and boutique: refined, slightly playful, and fashion-forward. Its tall, slender silhouettes and rounded details evoke vintage signage and editorial titling, with a lighthearted quirk coming from the long descenders and compact lowercase body.
Designed to deliver a distinctive condensed display presence with a smooth, rounded-rectangle construction, balancing geometric neatness with a touch of vintage charm. The extended vertical proportions appear intentional to create a memorable silhouette and a refined, boutique feel in titles and branding.
The font’s personality is strongest where long verticals dominate (H, M, N, U, l, t), while rounded characters (O, Q, a, e) keep the texture from feeling rigid. Numerals follow the same narrow, monoline logic and read cleanly, especially in simple contexts like dates or short codes.
