A tall, condensed sans with extremely thin strokes and a quiet, linear rhythm. Curves resolve into rounded-rectangle (superellipse-like) bowls and arches, giving counters a soft, engineered feel rather than a geometric circle. Terminals are clean and unbracketed; joins are simple and narrow, with occasional small hooks and tapered-looking endings in letters like r, f, j, and y that add a subtle calligraphic accent without breaking the monoline impression. Capitals are especially vertical and columnar, while the lowercase keeps a compact, tidy x-height with long ascenders and descenders that emphasize the font’s overall height.
Best suited to large-size typography such as headlines, magazine titles, fashion lookbooks, posters, and refined branding where its thin strokes and tall proportions can breathe. It can work for short text passages in high-contrast layouts, but will benefit from ample size, tracking, and strong background contrast.
The overall tone is poised and fashion-forward: delicate, quiet, and sophisticated. Its extreme lightness and narrow stance create an airy, upscale feel that reads as contemporary and editorial, with a slightly art-deco sensibility in the tall proportions and rounded-rectangular curves.
Likely designed to deliver a sleek, contemporary condensed voice with a distinct rounded-rectangle geometry—combining minimal sans structure with just enough softness and stylistic nuance for premium display typography.
Spacing appears generous relative to the narrow glyphs, helping prevent the ultra-thin strokes from collapsing in text. Round letters (O, Q, o, e) keep consistent superelliptic geometry, and the numerals follow the same tall, slender construction, supporting cohesive mixed text and display settings.
