A condensed monoline sans with tall proportions and generous vertical emphasis. Strokes remain consistently thin with smooth, rounded terminals and gently squared, superellipse-like curves in bowls and counters. Round characters (O, Q, 0) read as narrow ovals, while straights (E, F, H, I) stay crisp and even, creating a steady, columnar rhythm. The lowercase is simple and open with restrained joins, and figures follow the same slender, linear construction for a cohesive texture.
Best suited to large-size settings where its thin strokes and narrow proportions can read clearly—headlines, wordmarks, packaging titles, and editorial display lines. It works especially well when you want a clean, high-end look and can give it ample size and spacing.
The overall tone is refined and understated, giving a quiet, contemporary elegance. Its delicate presence feels airy and precise, leaning toward a stylish, editorial voice rather than a loud display personality.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, space-saving display sans that feels sleek and sophisticated. Its consistent monoline construction and rounded-rect geometry aim for a controlled, contemporary texture with an elegant, elongated silhouette.
The narrow set width and very thin strokes create a light color on the page, with noticeable verticality in letters like M, N, W, and the uppercase forms in general. Curved letters keep a soft, rounded feel without calligraphic modulation, and the punctuation and numerals maintain the same minimal, linear character.
