A tall, condensed sans with monoline strokes and generous vertical emphasis. Curves are drawn with softly squared, superellipse-like rounding, giving bowls and counters a rounded-rectangle feel rather than pure circles. Terminals are clean and mostly blunt, with sparse, simple joins and minimal modulation, producing an even, quiet rhythm. Overall spacing reads open and delicate, with narrow letterforms and straightforward construction across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and brand marks where a tall, delicate voice is desired. It works well for packaging, fashion/beauty identities, and editorial display typography, especially in spacious layouts. Because of its fine strokes and condensed proportions, it is most effective at larger sizes and in high-contrast print or screen settings.
The tone is calm and restrained, projecting a minimalist, contemporary sensibility. Its slender presence feels refined and slightly architectural, suggesting precision and cleanliness rather than warmth or playfulness.
The design appears intended to deliver a minimalist condensed sans with a distinctive superellipse geometry—clean enough for modern branding, but with subtly squared rounding that differentiates it from standard geometric grotesks. It aims for an elegant vertical rhythm and a light visual footprint in display applications.
Round letters such as O/Q and numerals like 0 and 8 show the characteristic rounded-rectangle geometry, while diagonals (A, V, W, X) remain crisp and linear. The lowercase set appears designed for clarity at display sizes, with simple, unornamented forms that prioritize a consistent vertical texture.
