A tall, condensed sans with a consistent monoline stroke and softly rounded construction. Curves are smooth and near-elliptical, with open apertures and generous internal counters that keep the narrow forms readable. Terminals are clean and mostly straight-cut, while joins stay simple and restrained, giving the alphabet a calm, even rhythm. Numerals and capitals follow the same slender, vertical emphasis, producing a light footprint and clear columnar texture in lines of text.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, signage, and space-constrained settings where a slim, vertical texture is useful. It can work for short blocks of text, captions, and interface labels when set at comfortable sizes and with adequate tracking to preserve clarity.
The overall tone is modern and uncluttered, with an airy, understated presence. Its narrow proportions and rounded geometry feel approachable rather than severe, lending a quiet contemporary character that suits streamlined design systems.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, modern sans voice with rounded geometric forms and a clean, minimal finish. Its condensed build prioritizes efficient width and a distinctive, elegant vertical rhythm for contemporary display and titling.
Distinctive shapes include a narrow, pointed cap A, a Q with a long diagonal tail, and a single-storey a paired with a looped g, all reinforcing a straightforward, contemporary sans drawing. The thin strokes and tight widths create strong verticality, so spacing and line length become important for comfortable reading.
