This is a monoline, condensed sans with extremely tall proportions and a clean, even rhythm. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle/superellipse geometry, giving bowls and counters a softly squared feel rather than fully circular forms. Terminals are crisp and unembellished, with simple joins and consistent stroke weight; diagonals (V, W, X, Y) are sharp yet restrained, and round letters like O and Q read as elongated capsules. Numerals follow the same narrow, linear construction, with open, airy counters and a lightweight, drawn-line presence.
Best suited to display roles where its tall, condensed profile can create elegant impact—headlines, posters, brand wordmarks, editorial titling, and premium packaging. It can also work for UI or interface accents in larger sizes where its fine strokes and narrow letterforms remain clear.
The overall tone is sleek and understated, leaning modern and architectural. Its thin strokes and elongated shapes feel refined and calm, suggesting precision and a cool, contemporary sensibility rather than warmth or playfulness.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, space-efficient display voice: narrow widths, simplified construction, and superellipse-inspired rounds that produce a crisp, contemporary look while maintaining a soft geometric friendliness.
The condensed width and long verticals create strong vertical emphasis and a distinctive silhouette in text. Rounded-corner geometry keeps the design from feeling harsh, while the very light strokes make spacing and line length especially noticeable in longer settings.
