A delicate, linear sans with tall proportions and narrow letterforms. Strokes stay consistently thin and even, giving the shapes a clean, monoline skeleton, while rounded characters rely on soft, elliptical curves and open apertures. Terminals are crisp and unembellished, and the overall rhythm is vertical and measured, with generous interior space in bowls and counters. Numerals match the same restrained, streamlined construction, reading clearly through simple, open shapes.
Best suited to headlines, short passages, and display settings where its fine strokes and condensed proportions can read as stylish and precise. It works well for branding, packaging, and editorial pull quotes that benefit from a modern, pared-back voice, especially when set with comfortable tracking and line spacing.
The tone is quiet and elegant, with a minimalist, contemporary feel. Its light footprint and narrow stance suggest sophistication and restraint, creating an airy, premium impression rather than a bold or playful one.
Likely drawn to provide a refined, space-efficient sans for contemporary layouts, prioritizing a clean geometric structure and a light, elegant texture for display typography.
The design leans on geometry and consistent stroke logic, producing a uniform texture in text. The narrow set and tall ascenders emphasize verticality, which can make lines feel spacious even at modest sizes, but also gives it a distinctly sleek, condensed presence.
