A condensed, monoline sans with a strong vertical emphasis and rounded-rectangle (superelliptic) construction. Strokes are consistently thin with minimal modulation, and terminals are clean and softly rounded rather than sharply cut. Curved letters (O, C, G, Q, 0) read as tall, narrow capsules, while diagonals in A, V, W, X stay taut and linear, reinforcing an overall precise rhythm. Counters are small and elongated, spacing feels measured, and the set maintains a disciplined, grid-like regularity across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to display sizes where its thin strokes and condensed proportions can read crisply: headlines, poster typography, logotypes, and premium packaging. It can also work for short editorial settings such as pull quotes or section titles where a sleek, space-saving voice is desired.
The overall tone is refined and restrained, with an elegant, contemporary feel. Its tall, slender silhouettes and minimal detailing suggest a fashion-forward or gallery-like sensibility—cool, quiet, and design-led rather than expressive or playful.
The design appears intended to deliver a space-efficient, contemporary sans voice built from consistent superelliptic geometry. By keeping stroke weight uniform and forms tightly controlled, it aims for a polished, high-design presence that stays understated while remaining distinctive.
Uppercase and lowercase share a closely related skeleton, giving mixed-case text a uniform, architectural texture. The numerals follow the same condensed, rounded-rectangle logic, creating a cohesive text color in all-caps settings and in display lines.
