A spare, linear sans with tall, condensed proportions and an even monoline stroke. Curves are clean and geometric, with generous rounding on bowls (notably in O/Q and lowercases like e) balanced by straight, vertical stems. Terminals tend to be plain and crisp, keeping counters open and shapes uncluttered; the overall rhythm is narrow and vertical, with a calm, consistent texture in running text.
Best suited to display settings where its slim strokes and condensed build can feel intentional—headlines, posters, brand wordmarks, packaging, and editorial titling. It can work for short text blocks at comfortable sizes, especially in clean layouts where its airy color and narrow set help preserve space.
The tone is cool and understated—light, neat, and contemporary. Its thin structure and controlled geometry give it a refined, design-forward feel that reads as modern, orderly, and slightly fashion/editorial.
The design appears intended to deliver a minimalist, space-saving sans that feels elegant and contemporary, prioritizing clean geometry and a light typographic color for modern visual identities and refined display typography.
Letterforms emphasize height and verticality, producing a delicate presence and plenty of white space. Distinctive touches include a simple, single-storey lowercase a and a gently curved-hook feel in some lowercase forms, reinforcing an elegant, streamlined character.
