A monoline sans with tall, condensed proportions and rounded-rectangle (superellipse-like) curves. Strokes stay consistently thin with minimal modulation, and many terminals are softly rounded, giving counters a narrow, vertical feel. The uppercase is especially elongated, while the lowercase appears compact with a notably small x-height and simple, single-storey forms. Overall spacing reads tight and linear, creating a vertical rhythm that emphasizes height and slenderness over mass.
Best suited to display settings where its tall, thin construction can read as intentional style—headlines, poster titles, brand marks, packaging, and editorial pull quotes. It works particularly well when given generous size and whitespace, and when paired with a more neutral text face for body copy.
The font conveys a refined, vintage-modern tone reminiscent of Art Deco display lettering, but stripped down to a minimalist, contemporary line. Its light touch and narrow silhouettes feel poised and sophisticated, with an airy delicacy that suggests elegance rather than warmth or heft.
The design appears intended to deliver an ultra-sleek, space-saving display voice built on rounded-rectilinear geometry. By combining a delicate monoline with condensed, elongated shapes, it aims to evoke a polished Art Deco sensibility while staying clean and modern for contemporary branding.
Round letters and numerals lean toward rounded-rectangle geometry rather than true circles, reinforcing a sleek, architectural look. The dot on i/j is small and unobtrusive, and the numerals follow the same tall, streamlined construction, supporting a consistent display texture.
