A monoline sans with extremely slender strokes and condensed proportions, built from simple verticals and rounded-rectangle curves. Round letters resolve into tall, softly squared counters rather than true circles, giving the design a superellipse feel and an even, architectural rhythm. Terminals are clean and unadorned, joins are crisp, and diagonals (such as V/W/X) stay sharp and tightly drawn. The numerals echo the same narrow, linear construction, with open, elongated bowls and minimal detailing.
Well suited to display settings such as headlines, cover lines, posters, logotypes, and minimalist branding systems. It can also work for short editorial pull quotes or captions when set large with ample tracking, where its clean vertical rhythm and distinctive rounded-rect forms can be appreciated.
The overall tone is quiet and contemporary—cool, understated, and fashion-forward. Its high vertical emphasis reads refined and slightly futuristic, with a gallery-like restraint that feels more editorial than utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver a sleek, vertically oriented sans for contemporary display typography, prioritizing geometric consistency and an elegant, lightweight presence over dense text readability.
Because the strokes are so thin and spacing appears tight in running text, the face reads best when given generous size and breathing room. The design’s consistent rounded-rectangle geometry helps maintain a cohesive texture across mixed-case and figures.
