A monoline, condensed sans with a clean geometric backbone and softly rounded curves. Strokes remain consistent and unmodulated, with tall ascenders/uppercase proportions and a notably small x-height that gives the lowercase a petite presence. Round letters lean toward near-circular bowls, while verticals are straight and spare, creating a crisp, airy rhythm. Terminals are plain and unadorned, and overall spacing feels open, helping the narrow forms breathe in text.
Best suited to display applications such as headlines, logotypes, posters, and packaging where its tall, narrow proportions can create a sophisticated vertical rhythm. It can also work for short editorial callouts or captions when set with comfortable tracking and adequate size.
The tone is restrained and contemporary, with an elegant, slightly architectural feel. Its tall, slim silhouettes read as refined and quiet rather than bold or playful, lending a sleek, design-forward character to headlines and short statements.
The design appears intended to deliver a neutral, modern sans voice in a condensed footprint, prioritizing clarity, geometric simplicity, and an elegant silhouette for contemporary visual systems.
Uppercase forms emphasize simplicity and verticality, and the numerals follow the same streamlined, minimal construction. The low x-height and narrow widths create a strong size contrast between uppercase and lowercase, which can look distinctive in mixed-case settings.
