A tall, condensed sans with extremely slender strokes and a consistent monoline construction. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle forms, producing soft corners and even, controlled bowls, while verticals dominate the overall texture. Counters are narrow and elongated, terminals are clean and unbracketed, and the spacing feels intentionally open for such a tight width. Numerals follow the same narrow, streamlined logic, with simple, legible shapes and minimal modulation.
Best suited to display typography where its tall, narrow silhouette can add elegance without taking much horizontal space—headlines, posters, logotypes, and premium packaging. It can also work for short editorial elements such as deck lines, pull quotes, and section heads, particularly in clean layouts with generous whitespace.
The overall tone is understated and contemporary, with a quiet, high-end restraint. Its thin, elongated proportions feel architectural and editorial, conveying precision and calm rather than warmth. The rounded geometry adds a subtle friendliness without sacrificing a sleek, minimalist attitude.
The design appears aimed at delivering a contemporary condensed look with geometric, rounded construction and an ultra-clean monoline finish. It prioritizes a sleek vertical presence and a refined, minimalist voice for modern branding and editorial display.
The font’s strong vertical rhythm creates a striped texture in paragraphs, especially where repeated stems and narrow apertures appear. The rounded corners help reduce harshness at display sizes, while the very light stroke weight suggests it will read best when given ample size and contrast against the background.
