A condensed, monoline sans with softly rounded corners and superellipse-like bowls. Strokes remain consistently thin with minimal modulation, emphasizing an even, linear texture. Counters are narrow and vertically oriented, and many joins resolve into gentle curves rather than sharp terminals, giving the set a smooth, streamlined silhouette. Round letters (O, Q, 0) read as tall rounded rectangles, while diagonals (V, W, X) are crisp but restrained, maintaining the overall delicate rhythm.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and large display sizes where its slim strokes and condensed structure can read cleanly. It works well for modern branding, packaging, and editorial layouts that benefit from a sleek, space-saving voice. For longer passages, it’s likely most effective when given generous size and spacing to preserve clarity.
The tone is refined and contemporary, with a quiet, design-forward restraint. Its light touch and narrow proportions create an airy, sophisticated feel that can read as editorial, boutique, or gallery-like rather than loud or utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver a distinctive condensed voice built from rounded-rectangle geometry, balancing strict vertical structure with softened corners. It prioritizes elegance and spatial economy, creating a consistent, modern texture for contemporary display typography.
The alphabet shows a consistent preference for verticality and rounded geometry, producing a distinctive “stretched capsule” look in bowls and numerals. Lowercase forms appear simplified and clean, with compact apertures and gentle curves that keep the texture uniform across longer text lines.
