A tall, monoline sans with extremely slender strokes and generous vertical proportions. Curves and bowls are built from softly squared, superellipse-like rounds, creating elongated counters and a clean, controlled rhythm. Terminals are consistently rounded, and horizontals are kept sparse and short, reinforcing a delicate, linear texture. In text, the face maintains a poised, even color with conspicuous vertical emphasis and ample white space between and within letters.
Best suited to display settings where its tall, delicate construction can read clearly—headlines, poster titling, brand marks, packaging, and editorial pull quotes. It can also work for short UI labels or navigation at larger sizes, particularly where a clean, high-end, space-efficient voice is desired.
The overall tone is sleek and understated, with a refined, slightly futuristic flavor. Its thin, elongated shapes feel architectural and fashion-forward, projecting precision, calm, and a quiet confidence rather than warmth or heft.
The design appears intended to deliver a distinctive condensed voice with a refined superellipse geometry and a strong vertical cadence. Its reduced horizontal structure and rounded terminals suggest a focus on stylized clarity and contemporary character for modern display typography.
The design’s signature comes through in its narrow apertures, tall caps, and simplified construction—especially where short crossbars and open forms keep silhouettes recognizable while staying minimal. Numerals and capitals echo the same rounded-rectangle geometry, helping the set feel cohesive across display sizes.
