A monoline sans with tall, condensed proportions and generous vertical rhythm. Strokes remain consistently thin across curves and straights, with rounded terminals and smooth, elliptical bowls that keep the texture even and quiet. Capitals are narrow and disciplined, with simple geometric construction (notably circular O/Q forms and clean diagonals in A/V/W/X). Lowercase follows the same restrained geometry, using single‑storey shapes where shown (a, g) and compact counters that stay open despite the slim stroke.
Best suited for display settings where a refined, compact voice is useful—headlines, posters, brand wordmarks, packaging, and editorial titling. It can also work for short text passages at comfortable sizes where the thin strokes and condensed forms have enough room to breathe.
The overall tone is calm and precise, projecting a modern, understated elegance. Its light footprint and narrow stance feel airy and architectural, giving text a sleek, high-end neutrality rather than warmth or playfulness.
Likely designed to offer a minimalist, space-efficient sans that feels elegant and contemporary, emphasizing clean geometry and a light visual footprint for modern typographic layouts.
Digit shapes are similarly slender and rounded, keeping a consistent, streamlined presence. In paragraph samples the spacing reads relatively open for the width, helping maintain legibility and preventing the thin strokes from clumping in continuous text.
