A monoline sans built from extremely slender strokes and tall, compressed proportions. Curves resolve into rounded-rectangle (superelliptic) shapes, giving bowls and counters a softly squared feel rather than purely circular geometry. Terminals are clean and mostly blunt, with occasional rounded caps; joints stay crisp and restrained, keeping the rhythm even despite the condensed letterforms. Numerals and capitals maintain the same elongated vertical emphasis, producing a consistent, columnar texture in text.
Best suited to display settings where its distinctive tall, compressed rhythm can be a feature—headlines, posters, branding wordmarks, and editorial titling. It also works well for sleek UI accents or signage-style labels when set with generous tracking and sufficient size.
The overall tone is cool and precise, with a minimalist, technical calm. Its elongated silhouettes and tight width read as modern and deliberate, leaning toward an engineered, gallery-like sophistication rather than warmth or informality.
The font appears designed to deliver a striking condensed silhouette with a geometric, superelliptic construction, prioritizing a refined vertical texture and a clean, contemporary voice for modern display typography.
Because the strokes are so fine and the forms so compressed, the design creates a strong vertical cadence and a distinctive "wireframe" presence. The rounded-rectangle construction is especially noticeable in letters with bowls and in the zero, reinforcing a cohesive geometric system.
