A condensed monoline sans with extremely slim strokes and an overall tall, columnar build. Curves are soft and squared-off in feeling, with round forms leaning toward rounded-rectangle geometry rather than perfect circles. Terminals are clean and mostly straight, counters are small and tightly controlled, and spacing reads even and deliberate, producing a tidy vertical rhythm across both cases and numerals.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and short blocks of text where a compact footprint and strong vertical presence are desirable. It works especially well for modern branding, fashion/beauty packaging, posters, and editorial display settings where a sleek, minimal voice is needed.
The tone is cool, quiet, and contemporary, with an understated elegance that feels technical and precise. Its narrow silhouette and fine lines give it a delicate, high-end atmosphere suited to restrained, modern design.
The design appears intended to deliver a sleek condensed sans with a soft-rectilinear roundness, maximizing vertical elegance and space efficiency while maintaining a clean, contemporary neutrality.
The figures follow the same condensed logic as the letters, with simple, linear construction and compact bowls. The overall impression is consistent across uppercase and lowercase, emphasizing height and clarity over warmth or expressive gesture.
