A monoline sans with extremely slender strokes and condensed proportions. The design is built from simple geometric construction, with rounded-rectangle/superellipse curves in bowls and counters and crisp, straight-sided verticals that give it a refined, architectural rhythm. Curves are smooth and controlled, terminals are clean and unadorned, and the overall spacing feels measured, producing a light, almost hairline texture across lines of text.
Best suited to display settings where its fine strokes and condensed width can read as intentional—headlines, subheads, posters, branding wordmarks, packaging, and editorial pull quotes. It works particularly well in spacious layouts where the airy texture and geometric curves can be appreciated.
The font conveys a quiet, refined modernity—cool, minimalist, and slightly fashion-forward. Its delicate stroke weight and tall, narrow silhouettes feel elegant and restrained, with a gallery-label or boutique-signage sensibility rather than a casual tone.
The design appears intended as a sleek, contemporary display sans that prioritizes a delicate linear voice and consistent geometric curvature. Its narrow stance and controlled superellipse forms suggest an aim for high-end, minimal typography that stays neutral while still feeling distinctive.
Round letters like O, Q, and 0 read as tall superellipses, keeping the family’s geometry consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures. The lowercase maintains a simple, linear structure with clear ascenders/descenders, and the numerals follow the same condensed, monoline logic for a cohesive typographic color.
