A tall, condensed sans with monoline strokes and gently rounded terminals. Curves are drawn with a squared-off, superelliptical feel—round forms read like softened rectangles rather than perfect circles—while verticals stay straight and crisp. Proportions emphasize height and narrow counters; capitals are especially elongated, and lowercase maintains a compact, reserved footprint with simple, restrained shapes. Numerals follow the same narrow, upright construction, with smooth, continuous strokes and minimal detailing.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and display settings where a compact, vertical presence is desirable. It works well for fashion, beauty, hospitality, and cultural poster applications, and can be effective in wordmarks where an elegant, space-saving silhouette is needed.
The overall tone is refined and architectural, evoking a contemporary take on Art Deco restraint. Its narrow rhythm and softened geometry feel poised and stylish rather than loud, giving text a quiet sophistication with a slightly retro, poster-like charm.
The design appears intended to deliver a space-efficient, stylish display voice by pairing condensed proportions with softened, superelliptical geometry. It aims for a modern, minimal reading of Deco-like elegance while staying clean and straightforward for contemporary branding.
The spacing and rhythm favor vertical momentum, producing a sleek texture in lines of text. Rounded corners and consistent stroke weight keep the design friendly and approachable despite the highly condensed proportions.
