A condensed monoline sans with pronounced verticality and a streamlined rhythm. Strokes are consistently thin and even, with rounded-rectangle (superellipse-like) counters that read as softly squared rather than purely circular. Terminals are clean and understated, and many forms are built from straight stems with gently radiused joins, producing a neat, engineered feel. The lowercase shows a notably high waist and compact apertures, while numerals follow the same narrow, linear construction for a cohesive texture in running text.
Best suited to display use where its condensed build can save horizontal space while staying stylish—headlines, subheads, covers, fashion/editorial layouts, brand wordmarks, and premium packaging. It can also work for short UI labels or navigational elements when set large enough to preserve clarity.
The overall tone is cool, contemporary, and precise, with an airy elegance that feels fashion-forward. Its narrow silhouettes and tidy curves give it a refined, metropolitan character—more boutique and editorial than casual or playful.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern condensed voice with a distinctive superellipse-based softness—combining strict vertical structure with rounded-rectangle counters for a controlled yet approachable look. It prioritizes a consistent, elegant texture for contemporary display typography.
At text sizes the thin strokes and tight internal spaces create a light, whispery color, while larger settings emphasize the distinctive rounded-rectangle geometry and tall proportions. The design’s uniform linearity makes it especially consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, supporting a clean typographic grid.
