A slender, condensed sans with a hairline, monoline stroke and softly rounded terminals. The design relies on tall verticals, compact bowls, and narrow counters, creating a light, open texture despite the tight letter widths. Curves are gently drawn and slightly asymmetric in places, giving the outlines a natural, hand-drawn cleanliness rather than a rigid geometric feel. Uppercase forms are tall and spare, while lowercase letters maintain a small body with long ascenders and descenders, emphasizing a vertical rhythm across text.
This font performs best where a light, vertical voice is desirable—headlines, short display lines, captions, and airy editorial treatments. It can add a refined, contemporary feel to branding and packaging, especially when used at moderate-to-large sizes with ample spacing.
The overall tone feels airy and understated, with a subtle quirky charm from its narrow proportions and softly rounded finishing. It reads as calm and modern, with a delicate, almost sketch-like presence that keeps it from feeling severe.
The design appears intended to deliver an elegant, space-saving sans with a gentle softness at the terminals, prioritizing a light footprint and a distinctive narrow rhythm for display-oriented typography.
Spacing appears relatively generous for such narrow letterforms, helping prevent the hairline strokes from collapsing in text. The figures are similarly tall and slim, matching the alphabet’s vertical emphasis and maintaining a consistent, minimalist color in running lines.
