A tall, condensed monoline sans with a consistent, hairline stroke and softly rounded terminals. Curves are drawn with an even, superellipse-like geometry, giving bowls and counters a smooth, controlled feel rather than a purely circular one. Proportions are strongly vertical, with narrow widths, modest apertures, and a calm, even rhythm in text. Forms such as O/Q are elongated and rounded, while joins stay simple and clean, maintaining a restrained, linear silhouette throughout the set.
Best suited to display settings where its slender, elegant construction can breathe—headlines, posters, packaging, and brand marks benefit from its refined verticality. It also works for short editorial callouts or captions when a clean, fashionable tone is desired and adequate size/contrast can be maintained.
The overall tone is quiet and refined, projecting a minimalist, design-forward character. Its thin, elongated shapes feel airy and cultured, with a slightly fashion/editorial sensibility rather than a utilitarian one.
The design appears intended to offer a contemporary, ultra-slender sans with softened geometry, prioritizing a sleek silhouette and consistent rhythm over strong typographic color or robust text-duty details.
In the sample text, the type builds a distinctive vertical texture: spacing reads relatively open for such narrow letters, and the uniform stroke keeps emphasis flat and understated. The numerals and lowercase share the same slim, rounded construction, helping mixed content look cohesive, especially at larger sizes.
