A condensed, high-waisted sans with extremely thin, monoline strokes and generous vertical proportions. Curves resolve into rounded-rectangle geometry, giving bowls and counters a softly squared, superelliptical feel rather than purely circular forms. Terminals are clean and unembellished, with consistent stroke weight and a disciplined, linear rhythm; round letters like O/Q read as tall ovals with subtly flattened sides. The overall spacing appears measured and compact, favoring a tight horizontal footprint while keeping counters open for clarity at display sizes.
Best suited to display applications where its thin strokes and condensed proportions can read crisply: headlines, pull quotes, fashion or lifestyle editorial, refined branding systems, and elegant packaging. It also works well for minimalist signage or interface accents when used at sufficiently large sizes and with ample contrast.
The font conveys a quiet, refined modernism—precise, understated, and slightly fashion-forward. Its tall, narrow stance and whisper-thin lines create an airy sophistication that feels editorial and gallery-like rather than utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver a minimalist, space-efficient voice with a distinctive superelliptical geometry—prioritizing vertical elegance and a clean, contemporary texture for modern display typography.
Capitals and numerals share the same elongated silhouette, producing a strong vertical cadence across mixed-case text. The design’s superelliptical curves add a distinctive geometric signature that stays consistent from bowls (B, D, P) to rounded lowercase forms (a, e, g), helping text blocks feel cohesive even with very light strokes.
