A condensed monoline sans with extremely slim strokes and generous vertical proportions. Curves resolve into rounded-rectangle, superellipse-like bowls, while straight stems stay crisp and parallel, creating a clean, architectural rhythm. Counters are tight but consistent, terminals are simple and unembellished, and spacing appears carefully restrained to maintain an even, columnar texture in text. Numerals and caps follow the same narrow, streamlined construction for a uniform, display-leaning palette.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, and large-format typography where its slender strokes can remain clear. It works well for fashion/editorial layouts, premium packaging, and brand wordmarks that benefit from a narrow footprint and a refined, minimal texture. For longer passages, it will generally perform better with ample size, leading, and contrast in the layout.
The overall tone is quiet, precise, and upscale—more editorial than utilitarian. Its delicate lines and compressed width suggest sophistication and restraint, with a slightly fashion-forward, gallery-label feel rather than a casual or friendly voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a sleek, space-efficient sans with a geometric, rounded construction and a highly refined presence. It prioritizes a distinctive condensed silhouette and a consistent superellipse-like curve logic for modern, display-centric typography.
The tall proportions and thin strokes emphasize verticality, producing a distinctive “wireframe” presence at larger sizes. Rounded forms (notably in O/C/G and the lowercase bowls) stay smooth and controlled, avoiding sharp corners while still feeling geometric.
