A very slim, monoline sans with strongly condensed proportions and generous verticality. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle/superellipse-like bowls, producing soft corners and even, controlled arcs rather than fully circular forms. Strokes stay consistently thin with little modulation, while terminals are clean and mostly flat, giving a crisp, engineered rhythm. Spacing appears open for such narrow forms, helping counters stay legible; figures are similarly narrow with simple, linear construction.
Best suited to display roles where its narrow width and tall stance can create elegant, space-saving headlines. It can work well for branding systems, packaging, and editorial titling where a refined, modern look is desired and the thin stroke can be supported by adequate size and contrast.
The overall tone is quiet and poised—minimalist and contemporary, with a slightly editorial, gallery-like polish. Its tall, spare letterforms feel precise and sophisticated rather than playful, conveying restraint and clarity.
The font appears designed to deliver a sleek, condensed voice with softly geometric rounding—combining a minimalist construction with superellipse-derived curves for a recognizable, contemporary signature.
The design leans on vertical stems and elongated curves, creating a distinctive high-rise silhouette in both capitals and lowercase. Rounded joins and softened corners keep the geometry friendly, while the thin weight emphasizes lightness and delicacy at display sizes.
