A condensed monoline sans with tall proportions and generous internal whitespace. Strokes are consistently thin and even, with rounded-rectangle curves that keep counters smooth and controlled rather than perfectly circular. Terminals are clean and plain, and the overall construction feels geometric but softened by subtly squarish bowls. Spacing and rhythm are disciplined, producing a crisp vertical texture in both uppercase and lowercase, while figures follow the same narrow, streamlined structure.
Best suited to display and short-to-medium text settings where a condensed voice is helpful: magazine headlines, poster typography, brand wordmarks, packaging, and UI labels that need to conserve horizontal space while staying clean. It can also work for pull quotes or subheads where a calm, modern presence is desired.
The font conveys a restrained, contemporary tone: quiet, precise, and slightly architectural. Its slim silhouettes read as refined and efficient, lending a cool editorial confidence without feeling harsh thanks to the softened, rounded geometry.
The design appears intended to provide an efficient condensed sans with a modern, geometric foundation and softened curves, balancing a sleek vertical rhythm with approachable rounded forms. It prioritizes clarity and a consistent typographic texture for contemporary editorial and branding use.
The uppercase set emphasizes height and narrowness, giving headings a strong vertical cadence. Lowercase forms keep a straightforward, legible skeleton with smooth joins and uncluttered details, helping longer lines stay tidy and consistent at display sizes. Numerals match the type’s tall, narrow stance for cohesive typographic color across mixed content.
