A monoline, condensed sans with tall proportions and generous vertical reach. Curves are smooth and controlled, tending toward rounded-rectangle geometry in bowls and counters, while joins stay crisp and uncluttered. Terminals are clean and mostly straight-cut, giving the letters a calm, consistent rhythm; round letters like O/C read as narrow ovals, and diagonals (A/V/W/X) are taut and linear. The lowercase maintains a relatively large x-height with compact apertures and simple construction, and the figures appear slender and aligned with the text’s vertical emphasis.
Best suited to display sizes where its thin strokes and condensed proportions can read clearly—headlines, poster typography, fashion or lifestyle branding, and clean packaging systems. It can also work for short editorial subheads and pull quotes when paired with a more robust text face for body copy.
The overall tone is quiet and modern, projecting an understated, design-forward elegance. Its thin stroke and narrow set feel fashionable and architectural rather than friendly, with a slightly boutique, gallery-like restraint.
The design appears aimed at a sleek, space-efficient sans for contemporary layouts, prioritizing vertical elegance and a uniform, minimal stroke for a refined visual cadence.
Spacing appears intentionally tight and columnar, reinforcing a vertical, poster-like texture. The punctuation and symbols shown (including the ampersand) follow the same thin, simplified drawing, keeping the voice consistent in longer lines of text.
