A condensed, monoline sans with tall proportions and generous vertical rhythm. Strokes maintain a consistent, very fine weight, with rounded-rectangle (superellipse-like) shaping in bowls and counters that keeps curves controlled rather than fully circular. Terminals are clean and mostly flat, with soft rounding at joins; curves transition smoothly into straights, giving letters a crisp, engineered feel. Spacing appears measured and even, supporting a neat, vertical texture in text.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and short editorial blocks where a sleek, condensed voice is desirable. It can work well for branding, packaging, and display applications that benefit from a modern, space-efficient look, especially at moderate-to-large sizes where the very light stroke has room to breathe.
The overall tone is calm and restrained, leaning contemporary and architectural. Its thin, tall forms read as refined and slightly technical, projecting precision and lightness rather than warmth or heft.
The design appears intended to deliver a minimal, high-clarity sans optimized for a tall, space-saving presence. By combining a very fine monoline with superellipse-influenced rounding, it aims for a contemporary, precision-forward aesthetic that remains orderly in text and striking in display.
Round letters such as O/Q and numerals like 0/8 show narrow, vertically oriented counters that reinforce the font’s tall silhouette. In running text, the narrow forms create a compact horizontal footprint while preserving legibility through open interior spaces and consistent stroke logic.
