A tall, condensed sans with monoline strokes and generous interior space. Curves are smooth and softly squared, giving rounds a superelliptical feel rather than perfect circles. Terminals are clean and mostly blunt, with a consistent vertical rhythm and long ascenders/descenders that emphasize height. The overall texture is quiet and even, with open counters and restrained joins that keep forms crisp at larger sizes.
Best used where a slim, high-impact voice is needed: headlines, pull quotes, magazine/editorial settings, and poster typography. It can also work well for brand marks, beauty/fashion packaging, and minimalist identity systems where verticality and whitespace are part of the layout. For long passages, it will generally be more comfortable at larger sizes with ample leading.
The tone is cool, understated, and contemporary, leaning toward fashion-forward elegance. Its slender build and calm rhythm suggest sophistication and restraint rather than friendliness or exuberance. It feels suited to designs that want presence without heaviness.
The design appears aimed at delivering a refined condensed sans for display typography, pairing a strict vertical stance with softened, superelliptical curves. The intention seems to balance modern minimalism with a distinctive narrow silhouette that remains clean and legible in short-to-medium text settings.
Uppercase forms read especially architectural and column-like, while the lowercase adds a slightly more lyrical cadence through tall stems and extended descenders. Numerals match the same narrow, streamlined proportions, keeping mixed text looking consistent and tidy.
