A monoline sans with condensed proportions and a crisp, linear build. Curves are drawn as rounded-rectangle/superellipse forms, giving bowls and counters a softly squared geometry rather than pure circles. Strokes stay even with clean terminals, while joins are precise and controlled; diagonals (A, V, W, X) are slender and sharp without adding visual weight. Round letters like O/Q read tall and smoothly continuous, and the overall spacing creates a light, breathable texture.
Well suited to headlines and subheads where a sleek, minimal presence is desired, as well as branding and packaging that benefit from a refined, modern voice. It can work in editorial display settings and posters when set with comfortable tracking and sufficient size to preserve its delicate stroke weight.
The font conveys a restrained, contemporary tone—quietly sophisticated, minimal, and architectural. Its thin strokes and tall, streamlined shapes feel refined and slightly futuristic, projecting clarity and calm rather than warmth or playfulness.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary condensed sans with a distinctive superelliptical roundness—combining a strict, minimalist skeleton with softened rectangular curves for a recognizable, upscale texture in display typography.
Capitals show a consistent vertical rhythm with narrow widths and generous internal whitespace. Numerals follow the same tall, simplified logic, with single-storey forms and rounded-rect counters that keep the set cohesive. The overall color stays light on the page, so legibility relies on adequate size and contrast in use.
