A slender, monoline sans with condensed proportions and softly rounded joins. Curves are drawn as narrow ovals with open counters, while straight strokes stay clean and even, giving the design a consistent, low-friction rhythm. Terminals are mostly plain and slightly rounded, and the overall construction favors tall, compact forms with generous interior space for the weight. Numerals follow the same narrow, rounded logic and sit evenly alongside the letters.
Best suited to headlines and short-to-medium text where a compact footprint is useful, such as posters, packaging, labels, and brand wordmarks. It can also work for UI or editorial subheads when a light, airy texture is desired and space is limited.
The tone is light and approachable, with a calm, contemporary simplicity. Its tall, narrow stance and smooth curves add a subtle playfulness while staying clean and restrained, making it feel modern and informal without becoming decorative.
The design appears intended to provide a clean, contemporary sans that fits comfortably into tight horizontal spaces while maintaining a friendly, rounded feel. Its consistent stroke and compact forms suggest an emphasis on simple, versatile display use with a recognizable narrow texture.
Capitals and lowercase share a cohesive narrow silhouette, and the spacing in running text reads orderly rather than cramped. Rounded characters (like O/C/G and 0/8/9) lean toward vertical ovals, reinforcing the condensed texture across lines.
