A slender monoline sans with tightly drawn proportions and a strong vertical rhythm. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle/superellipse logic, giving bowls and counters a smooth, squared-off softness rather than true circles. Terminals are clean and mostly blunt, with occasional gentle hooks in the lowercase, and curves stay consistent in radius across the set. The x-height reads notably small against tall ascenders and descenders, creating lots of internal whitespace and a delicate, spaced-out texture in text. Numerals and capitals keep the same restrained stroke behavior, with open, simplified forms and a crisp, linear construction.
Best suited for display settings where its tall, condensed silhouette can create a strong, high-end presence—headlines, brand marks, packaging, and poster typography. It also works for short editorial callouts, captions, or pull quotes where the refined geometry and airy spacing can be appreciated. For longer reading, it will be most effective at larger sizes or with generous leading to preserve clarity and its intentionally delicate texture.
The overall tone is calm and design-forward, with a gallery-like restraint that feels contemporary and curated. Its narrow, airy color and superelliptical rounding introduce a subtle eccentricity—polished rather than playful—suited to minimalist, modern branding. In longer samples it comes across refined and slightly idiosyncratic, like a boutique display sans intended to look distinctive without relying on ornament.
The design appears aimed at a contemporary geometric sans with superellipse-based rounding, prioritizing a distinctive, narrow profile and a clean, linear feel. By pairing a small lowercase body with very tall extenders, it creates a recognizable vertical elegance intended for modern display typography and branding systems that favor minimal form and controlled eccentricity.
The font’s identity relies on contrast between very tall verticals and compact lowercase bodies, which makes word shapes feel elongated and elegant. Round letters retain a squared softness that stays consistent from caps to lowercase and numerals, helping the family read as a cohesive geometric system. The punctuation/dots appear visually assertive against the thin strokes, adding a bit of graphic punch in text.
