A condensed, monoline sans with tall proportions and ample vertical emphasis. Strokes are consistently thin with minimal modulation, and terminals are clean and mostly straight, giving a crisp, engineered feel. Curves lean toward rounded-rectangle geometry in bowls and counters (notably in C, O, Q, and the lowercase forms), while vertical stems stay nearly parallel and tightly spaced. The overall rhythm is narrow and orderly, with open apertures and restrained details that keep the texture light and precise in continuous text.
Best suited to display sizes where its slender structure and tall silhouette can shine—headlines, posters, brand marks, and packaging benefit from its clean, contemporary profile. In editorial or UI contexts it works well for short runs such as section titles, captions, and navigation, especially when generous spacing and contrast are available.
The tone is modern and understated, with a cool, minimalist clarity. Its thin, upright build reads refined and technical rather than expressive, suggesting a contemporary, design-forward sensibility.
This design appears intended to deliver a lightweight, space-efficient sans that feels contemporary and carefully controlled, combining strict verticality with softly squared curves for a distinctive, modern signature.
Distinctive narrow caps and numerals create a strong vertical cadence, while rounded corners soften the geometry so it doesn’t feel harsh. The lowercase maintains a simple, uncluttered construction, and the numerals mirror the same slim, streamlined logic for a cohesive set.
