A condensed, monoline sans with tall proportions and softly squared curves that give round letters a superelliptical feel. Strokes stay consistently thin with little to no modulation, producing an even color and an open, lightweight texture. Terminals are clean and largely straight, while bowls and counters are narrow and vertically oriented, creating a crisp rhythm in both uppercase and lowercase. Numerals follow the same tall, streamlined construction for a uniform set.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and large-size typography where its slim proportions can add sophistication without heaviness. It also works well for branding, packaging, and editorial display settings that benefit from a clean, space-efficient word shape and a modern, geometric voice.
The overall tone is quiet and precise—more architectural than expressive—conveying a contemporary, curated sensibility. Its narrow build and light presence feel elegant and understated, with a slightly futuristic clarity that suits minimalist layouts.
The design appears aimed at delivering a contemporary condensed sans that stays neutral and refined while adding character through superelliptical curves and tall, streamlined proportions. It prioritizes a clean rhythm and modern presence for display-oriented typography.
Uppercase forms read especially tall and columnar, and the lowercase maintains a similarly vertical stance, keeping lines of text tidy and aligned. The rounded-rectangle geometry becomes most apparent in curved characters, where corners feel gently eased rather than fully circular.
