A monoline, condensed sans with extremely fine strokes and generous internal whitespace. Curves are built from smooth, near-elliptical bowls, while verticals remain straight and consistent, producing a calm, even texture. Round letters like C, O, and Q read as tall ovals; diagonals (V, W, X, Y) are sharply drawn and precise. Terminals are clean and unembellished, and the overall construction feels spare and disciplined, with a lightly drawn crossbar on A and a compact, legible set of numerals.
Best suited to display contexts where its fine stroke and condensed proportions can read clearly—headlines, subheads, fashion/editorial layouts, contemporary branding, and upscale packaging. It can work in short text passages at sufficiently large sizes, especially where a light, elegant tone is desired.
The typeface conveys a quiet, modern refinement—light, understated, and design-forward. Its delicate presence feels architectural and editorial, prioritizing elegance and restraint over warmth or heaviness.
The design appears intended to provide a sleek, space-efficient sans with a high-end, minimal aesthetic. By combining narrow proportions with very thin, even strokes and simple geometric forms, it aims to deliver a refined display voice that feels contemporary and unobtrusive.
At text sizes the very thin stroke can appear ethereal, with spacing and narrow proportions creating a distinctive vertical rhythm. The sample text shows consistent alignment and a smooth flow in mixed-case settings, with tall ascenders/descenders contributing to a lean, elongated silhouette.
