This typeface is an extremely slender monoline sans with condensed proportions and a tall, vertical stance. Curves are drawn as elongated rounded-rectangle forms, giving letters like O, Q, and 0 a superelliptical silhouette rather than a pure circle. Strokes maintain a consistent, hairline weight with smooth joins and generous internal whitespace, producing a crisp, quiet rhythm across text. Terminals are clean and simple, and the overall construction emphasizes straight stems, narrow counters, and elongated bowls.
Best suited to display sizes where its hairline strokes and condensed structure can stay clear—such as headlines, logotypes, fashion/editorial layouts, posters, and premium packaging. It can also work for short UI labels or captions when set with sufficient size and contrast against the background.
The tone is minimalist and airy, with a refined, fashion-forward feel. Its delicate stroke weight and tall proportions create an elegant, understated presence that reads as contemporary and precise rather than warm or expressive.
The design appears intended to deliver a sleek, high-end sans for modern display typography, prioritizing vertical elegance, consistent monoline construction, and superelliptical round forms for a distinctive but restrained character.
The uppercase set reads particularly architectural due to the narrow widths and long verticals, while the lowercase keeps a similarly slender profile with compact apertures. Numerals follow the same superelliptical logic, with a tall 0 and a thin, linear 1 that align well with the typeface’s vertical emphasis.
